The Calvário de Queimadela (Queimadela Calvary) is a Catholic devotional site on Rua do Vale in Queimadela, parish of Queimadela, municipality of Armamar. We found no reliable sources on its date, architecture or any services held there, so we give no further detail.

Queimadela lies at the western edge of the municipality, beside the Varosa River, in the valley of Monte Raso, with views over Lamego, Régua and, in the distance, the Serra do Marão. The parish's heritage highlights are the parish church, dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Piedade, and the chapel of São Lourenço, in an excellent spot to enjoy the landscape. Farming is dominated by apples, which cover 197 of the roughly 202 agricultural hectares.

The calvary is about 5 km in a straight line from the centre of Armamar and is reached by car. It is best visited together with the parish church and the village leisure area.
