Igreja do Coração de Jesus (Capela dos Cardais)

🏘️ Machico · Água de Pena

Built in 1907 by Canon Henrique Modesto de Bettencourt, in the parish of Água de Pena (Machico). A fire destroyed it in 1976; it was rebuilt in 1987. The architecture is Revivalist and neo-Mannerist, on a longitudinal plan. Inside, the chancel is topped by a rendering of the Agnus Dei; the altarpiece is framed by two corbels carrying sculptures of Our Lady of Fatima and Saint Joseph. It is also called the Cardais chapel.
