The Church of Nossa Senhora da Saúde was originally started by Dona Margarida Bettencourt da Câmara, who provided for it in her Last Will and Testament in 1627. A newer church by that name was built in the 1700s. Another chapel was constructed in the name of Nossa Senhora da Piedade at the beginning of the 16th century. Nossa Senhora dos Milgares was the third church built, beginning in 1816 and not completed until 1816.^[1]
