St John and St Anne (chapel)
Original title: São João e Santana (Capela de)
A chapel built in 1814 at the Quinta do Trapiche in Santo António by João António de Gouveia Rego; its adjoining house later housed the seminary.
This chapel, which stands in the locality (sítio) of Trapiche (‘sugar mill’) in the parish (freguesia) of Santo António (‘St Anthony’), is known only by the name of the place where it was built. Sergeant-major (sargento-mor, a field officer ranking as major) João António de Gouveia Rego, owner of the quinta (country estate) of Trapiche, had a chapel dedicated to St John the Baptist and St Anne built there in 1814; it was blessed and the first Mass was celebrated on 14 August of the same year. Attached to it is an excellent country house, which for some time served as the seminary after that educational establishment ceased to operate in the Incarnação building (1921).
This house, the chapel and their surroundings underwent extensive alterations, as can be seen in the article asylums (Manicómios).
