A chapel built in 1510 in Arco da Calheta, Madeira, the Capela de Nossa Senhora do Loreto exemplifies Manueline architectural style, the distinctive Portuguese historicist tradition of the early sixteenth century. Now recognized as an Immovable Cultural Heritage of Public Interest, the structure stands as a surviving testament to early Portuguese colonial-era religious architecture in the Atlantic islands.
