The old lighthouse was built in 1880 to meet the needs of the Port of Imbetiba, which served as an outlet for agricultural production from Baixada Campista and Macaé. Visits are allowed and access is via the Petrobras interchange at Campista beach. It was restored in 1999.
According to the legend of the Saint Fujona, the main door was facing west, to prevent the saint, with the same name, from fleeing the altar, since her image was found in the island of Santana. As the main façade used to face east, the saint missed her island and disappeared (fled) from the altar of the church, always being found again on the island of Santana, so they changed the façade of the church to the opposite side, where the saint could no longer see her place of origin, and could no longer flee. The image of the saint disappeared in the 1990s and was never found again. Building with construction dating from 1630, is located on an elevation from where you can see the whole city, next to a cemetery of the same name. The traditional procession of Senhor do Senhor Morto, which runs through the streets of the city center every Good Friday, starts and ends at this temple.
It hosts Expo Macaé, with a rodeo and top quality Brazilian popular music shows.
