Bell mounted in the Chappel of Nossa Senhora da Saude, a small temple in Sacavem.
The first chapel dates probably from before 1599. That first chappel was demolished and another one was built in 1652 and then rebuilt in 1756 after being destroyed or damaged by the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake.
The actual building has suffered several changes over the years and the clock was probably mounted in the 19th century.
The bell, contrary to what´s usual, it´s not in a traditional tower but mounted in a metal structure above the door.
