"The Chapel of Our Lady of Peace is located on top of the hill of Our Lady of Peace, north of Vila Franca do Campo on the island of Sao Miguel in the Azores. From the location, opens up a broad view of that stretch of coastline on the island."
"This temple built in 1764 dates back to a more primitive temple, probably erected in the sixteenth century, according to tradition at the place where a pastor has found an image of the Virgin in a cave. The present temple, built on the former, dates from the eighteenth century.
The temple is classified as a Public Interest by the Regional Government of the Azores since 1991."
