If you love Catholic Traditional locations this is a must see. Plan your day to have lunch there after you go to Mass or just visit the Church and grounds. You'll enjoy the beautiful scenery to and from this wonderful treasure.
Beautiful church, I was very surprised how it is very well decorated inside, with columns full of gold. I came in the same time as a mass, which was even more beautiful ! Visit my website for more!
Went to a wedding on a Sunday here, easy to find, beautiful setting, stunning views accross the Zezere but very windy as its on top of a hill, so wedding dresses beware ! All other dresses come to think of it !
(Translated by Google) The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Pranto, or of Sorrows, is located on a beautiful peninsula flanked by the River Zêzere (also called the Templar Peninsula) in the village of Dornes, in the municipality of Ferreira do Zêzere. It was built by order of Queen Isabel of Aragon, wife of King Dinis. The original sanctuary, from the 13th century, would later give way to the current building, built by order of D. Gonçalo de Sousa, Commander of the Major Commandery of the Order of Christ, in 1453. A wonderful place both for its scenic, cultural and historical beauty, as well as for the energetic surroundings of the place. (Original) Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Pranto, ou das Dores, situa-se numa bela península ladeada pelo rio Zêzere, (chamada também de Peninsula Templária) na aldeia de Dornes, concelho de Ferreira do Zêzere. Foi mandado construir pela Rainha D. Isabel de Aragão, esposa de D. Dinis. O santuário primitivo, do século XIII, viria a dar lugar à atual construção, mandada edificar por D. Gonçalo de Sousa, Comendador da Comenda Mor da Ordem de Cristo, em 1453. Um local maravilhoso quer pela sua beleza paisagistica, cultural e histórica, bem como pela envolvência energética do local.
(Translated by Google) It is located at the highest point of the Dornes peninsula, next to the Templar Tower and close to the cemetery. Access to the main door is via the staircase, but if you have mobility problems you can access it via the road that runs around the temple. From the outside you can see the houses of the village, the bathing area, and part of the waters of the Castelo do Bode Dam. The interior is surprisingly beautiful, from the tiled walls, to the main chapel with the image of Our Lady of Tears, the painted coffers, and the organ, among other things to admire. There are several pilgrimages to this sanctuary throughout the year. Find out more and come and visit. Published on 18 Aug 23 (Original) Encontra-se no ponto mais alto da península de Dornes, ao lado da Torre Templária e próxima do cemitério. O acesso à porta principal é feito pela escadaria, mas se tiver problemas de mobilidade pode aceder pela estrada que contorna o templo. Do seu exterior avista-se o casario da aldeia, a zona balnear, e parte das águas da Barragem de Castelo do Bode. O interior surpreende pela sua beleza, desde as paredes forradas a azulejo, passando pela capela-mor com a imagem da Nossa Senhora do Pranto, os caixotões pintados, e o órgão, entre tanto que há para admirar. Há várias romarias a este santuário ao longo do ano. Informe-se e venha conhecer. Publicado a 18ago23
(Translated by Google) Beautiful chapel, the entire complex from the 15th century, not to be missed, along with the museum and the Templar tower. (Original) Bonita capilla todo el conjunto del siglo XV no te lo puedes perder junto también con el museo y la torre templaria.
(Translated by Google) For those visiting Dornes, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Pranto is a must-see. The church is very beautiful, with special emphasis on the altar and the baptismal font. Tip 🔍 You can also visit the Círios Museum, located inside. It costs €1.50 per person. Although it is small, it is worth it for the wealth of candles on display and it is also a way of contributing to the parish. The ladies are very friendly and always willing to explain (and of course, sell you some souvenirs). (Original) Para quem visita Dornes, o Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Pranto é um local de paragem obrigatória. A igreja é muito bonita, destacando o altar e a pia batismal. Dica 🔍 também se pode visitar o Museu dos Círios, no interior. Tem um custo de 1,5€ por pessoa. Apesar de pequeno, vale a pena pela riqueza de círios existentes e é uma forma de contribuir também para a paróquia. As senhoras são muito simpáticas e sempre com vontade de explicar (e claro, vender alguma lembrança).
(Translated by Google) Yesterday I visited the Círios museum inside the church for €1.50. It was disappointing, not because of what was on display, but because of the small size of the space, which was limited by the works taking place on the 1st floor. I complained that the amount paid was unfair due to the temporary restriction on access to the museum. I expressed my displeasure to Mrs. Anastacia, who sold the tickets, who in turn showed her displeasure at my comment in an arrogant and unfriendly manner. However, she still tried to sell religious articles that were on sale! I do not recommend the visit! (Original) Ontem fui visitar o museu círios no interior da igreja pelo valor de 1,5€, foi decepcionante, não pelo que estava em exposição, mas pela dimensão reduzida do espaço que estava limitada pelas obras a decorrer no 1° andar. Reclamei que o valor pago era injusto devido à limitação provisória de acesso ao museu. Manifestei o meu desagrado à D.Anastacia que vendeu os bilhetes que por sua vez mostrou desagrado pelo meu comentário de uma forma arrogante e antipática. No entanto ainda quis impingir artigos religiosos que tinha à venda! Não recomendo a visita!

(Translated by Google) The village is beautiful and the landscape is wonderful. What's the point of saying it when I have photos to prove it 🤭 (Original) A aldeia é linda e a paisagem maravilhosa. Palavras para quê quando tenho fotos que o comprovam 🤭
(Translated by Google) I would like to thank the tourist office employee for his willingness to help yesterday when the blackout occurred. (Original) Quero agradecer a disponibilidade de ajuda do funcionário do posto de turismo ontem em que se verificou o apagão.
(Translated by Google) The Tourist Office offers a range of services and information about the region. It also has local products and a temporary exhibition room, as well as free audio guides with a tour of the town.

Dispõem ainda de produtos locais e uma sala de exposições temporárias, bem como audioguias gratuitos com um roteiro pela Vila.
(Translated by Google) We can enjoy the fantastic landscape and the river beach. A great place to "break the routine" and relax. (Original) Podemos desfrutar da fantástica paisagem e da praia fluvial. Ótimo local para "quebrar a rotina" e relaxar.
