This chapel, Eremida de Santo António, was built in the military complex known as "Revelim de Castro Marim", in the middle 17th Century. The whole area was recently renovated by the city and it's now a pleasant place to visit, including a windmill, an amphitheater and remains of the fort walls.

Detailed information - a bit technical, so I don't dare to translate - can be found online, but in Portuguese only:
