The Capela da Boa Nova is located in Leça da Palmeira, in the municipality of Matosinhos, district of Porto, Portugal. This chapel, dedicated to São Clemente das Penhas (Saint Clement of the Cliffs), was founded in 1392 and was linked to a small Franciscan monastery. The Franciscans settled there until 1478, when they moved to a more protected estate.
