About Igreja da Luz de Lagos

A Igreja da Luz de Lagos é uma igreja situada na vila da Luz, em Lagos, na região do Algarve, em Portugal.

Não se sabe em que ano a ermida, hoje capela-mor, foi edificada. Sabe-se, no entanto, que a imagem de Nossa Senhora da Luz foi cativa dos mouros, quando estes frequentavam a baía de Lagos. No zimbório da capela-mor, pode ler-se 1521 e algumas letras góticas, cujo significado se desconhece.

Após ter sido a imagem de Nossa Senhora da Luz resgatada dos mouros, o rei enviou-a para a sua igreja, tendo mandado construir uma defensão em volta da igreja e a fortaleza, para assim a proteger.
