Description
Our Lady of Grace church situated in the esplanade of Sagres, Portugal, near the San Vicente cape, where mariners and sailors trained for the ocean journeys of discovery of the New World and beyond. The promontory of Sagres has always been important for sailors because it offers a shelter for ships before attempting the dangerous voyage around Cape St. Vincent (could be Belixe Bay, between Sagres Point and the Cape, or Sagres Bay, to the east). Given the dangers of being blown onto the coastal rocks, captains preferred to wait in the lee of the point until favourable winds allowed them to continue.
