Our Lady of Sorrows (chapel)
Original title: Nossa Senhora das Angústias (Capela de)
Chapel of Our Lady of Anguish in São Pedro parish, Funchal, founded in 1662; a chapel of the same dedication stands in the Quinta Lambert, where Princess Maria Amélia died in 1853.
In the parish (freguesia) of São Pedro (‘St Peter’), at the locality (sítio) to which it gave its name, Diogo da Costa de Quintal built a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows (Nossa Senhora das Angústias) in 1662. There stands the quinta (country estate) of Nossa Senhora das Angústias, better known as the Quinta Lambert, which has a chapel of this dedication, perhaps a rebuilding of the old chapel that existed at that locality. Princess Maria Amélia lived at this quinta and died there on 4 February 1853.
