A place for prayer and healing.

Shot at Convent of the Capuchos ► [link] [link]
Sintra, Portugal.

Sanctuary built in the 16th century.
Isolated amidst the dense forest, embedded in the rocks and boulders.
Inside, small cells are furnished with wood and cork.
Was inhabited by eight friars in total seclusion.
In every cell, room for hope.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Kindly featured:
- Thank you!

Thanks! It's a pleasure sharing with you.
The light is beautiful there, indeed. There's no much coming in, so it's quite special.
