The Hermitage of Nossa Senhora de Mércoles, located in the Parish of Castelo Branco, is a small sanctuary where a religious festival is held, accompanied by a popular fair, which begins on the third Sunday of Easter and lasts three days. The festivity originates in a pilgrimage that began to make to the sanctuary, in 1601, in the day of the Good Shepherd, for being attributed to Our Lady of M Wednesdays the fact of having freed the city of an epidemic.
