The Capela de Nossa Senhora da Graça stands in Cimbres, in the parish of Cimbres, Armamar municipality, on the hill named after Our Lady of Grace that overlooks the village. Cimbres lies in a valley with an already mountain-like landscape, where, despite the short distance, the Douro is no longer felt.

According to the parish history, the Senhora da Graça hill is one of Armamar's tourist attractions: from here you can see much of the municipality, above all the southern landscape covered in apple orchards. The feast in honour of Nossa Senhora da Graça is held here on 15 August. Beside the chapel there is also the hermitage of Nossa Senhora da Livração.

It lies about 6.2 km in a straight line south of the centre of Armamar and is reached by road as far as the village of Cimbres. It is worth a visit for the setting and the view, especially on clear days. No opening hours are published; outside the feast the chapel may be closed.
