EN: "There are currently two churches in Costa Nova. The old one, better known as Capela da N.ª Sr.ª da Saúde, which was built on the sand next to the beach. The patron saint is, in this case, Nossa Senhora da Saúde, with images of St. Amaro, to whom the fishermen are very devoted, the image of N.ª Sr.ª de Fátima and, more recently, the image of S. José.
Next to it, a new church was built, since the old one was no longer able to gather a large number of faithful who, and in a special way, during the bathing season, went there in a demonstration of faith. This one, however, with more modern lines, was built in a hexagonal shape, with large tile panels inside and a single image, that of the patron saint, N. Sr.ª da Saúde.
It was inaugurated on the 30th of April 2000, being, therefore, of very recent construction. It also enriched itself with a Pipe Organ, which has made it possible to perform various concerts of Sacred Music, performed by various national and foreign organists."

The clock is square and there is ine each side of one of the cubic that do tower.
It hasn't numbers but there are lines and the hands (both things are made in iron) give us the hour OK.
