Ermida de Nossa Senhora de Aracelis - As Aguarelas dos deuses

Local de culto desde tempos muito antigos a Ermida fica numa elevação isolada no meio da vasta planície. Segundo a lenda avista seis outras ermidas no Alentejo e Algarve (a dos Remédios em Alcaria, a da Cola em Ourique, a da Guadalupe em Serpa, a do Castelo em Aljustrel a da Saúde em Marimlongo e a da Piedade em Loulé). É um local privilegiado.
