A round 16th-century chapel to Santo Amaro, protector of sailors and of broken arms and legs, on a hill above Alcântara with the Tejo, the 25 de Abril bridge and Almada laid out below. Its porch is lined with rough azulejos showing arms and legs, and it was a place of pilgrimage until 1911. Time Out calls it one of the least coveted viewpoints in Lisbon.

Good to know
- From the top you see across the river to Trafaria, Almada and Cova do Vapor (NiT 2026).
- Look at the azulejo panels of limbs in the porch: the saint was invoked for broken bones.
- The chapel is a National Monument since 1910; the Palácio dos Condes da Ponte (17th century) stands nearby.
