This is the back side of the gorgeous chapel Santa Maria de Valega,
In the district of Ovar lies the small town of Valega. A spectacular parochial church, Santa Maria de Valega, also called the church of Valega, with its facade covered with multicolored tiles (azulejos) facing a well-kept cemetery makes this small town a true gem well-worth visiting. The church was built between the XVIII and the XIX centuries, but the azulejos are from the XX century.

Photography Tips

While the delightful front can be taken at a distance with a zoom lens, the back side is taken from the side road at 34mm.
