In São Pedro Fins, at the highest point in the municipality of Maia, Monte de São Miguel-o-Anjo is much more than just a superb viewpoint overlooking the surrounding area. It is a place where landscape, heritage, spirituality, tradition and collective memory converge. At its summit, the Chapel of São Miguel-o-Anjo bears witness to a history deeply rooted in the community. The hill once served as a sort of “lighthouse” for the fishermen of Matosinhos, who used it as a landmark on their return from fishing and would celebrate São Miguel-o-Anjo here, giving thanks for his protection.
