RE: A Church, a Chapel and a Lot of Lettuces!
I love finding unknown routes and seeing what I can find @trincowski.
The Church of Gião is very pretty with those lovely blue and white tiles.
Do you know why the town is called Malta? That's an unusual name and the Chapel of Saint Apollonia does look very similar to a Maltese Chapel.
Hi there!
Yes, its name is based on an ancient Religious Order: The Order of Malta
This Order still exists nowadays. Here's their Portuguese page: Ordem de Malta
Thanks for your comment.
Very interesting @trincowski. Thanks for the link. 😁
