Chapel of Our Lady of Penha

Founded in 1622 by Portuguese sailors that had escaped capture during a Dutch invasion attempt in Macau, the Chapel of Our Lady of Penha came to serve as a shrine for mariners about to embark on dangerous voyages. The entire structure was rebuilt in 1837. You can see its distinctive bell tower from anywhere in the harbor – and from the bell tower, you can see all the way across the Pearl River to mainland China.
