The story of this place

Built after the 1755 earthquake, the church has Pombaline architecture, a single nave and eighteenth-century monochrome tiles. Its 1 November procession preserves local memory of the disaster; the Virgin’s attributed protection belongs to religious tradition.

What to look for

Compare the façade with the neighbouring houses. Inside, notice how the nave gathers people's attention; respect services in progress.

Return

Fu, return, treats rebuilding as a new beginning. Returning after disaster neither erases the event nor requires an exact replica. A neighbourhood needs places to gather again; recovery is also measured by people's willingness to come back.

Independent cultural interpretation: an editorial reflection inspired by the hexagram, not a historical fact, the builders’ intention or a prediction.
