Lapa Church, officially Igreja Paroquial de Nossa Senhora da Lapa (Parish Church of Our lady of Lapa) is a Parish church in the Portuguese city of Póvoa de Varzim. It was built in the 1700s by the local fishermen community. Despite its simplicity it has some interesting features and cultural interest such as with its old lighthouse which was once a link between the church and the fishermen on the sea.
