Description
This Romanesque chapel, dating from the 11th/12th century, was profoundly altered by interventions in the 17th century.
It consists of a narrower nave and chancel with false barrel vaulted roofs. Like so many others, it was built on a site where there are human remains dating back to at least the Castro period, and frames a place of pilgrimage in the context of medieval devotion.
The façade has a slightly pointed arched doorway and there are traces of a porch. Around its perimeter runs a dog run decorated with half spheres and some figurative motifs, and on its walls are the lids of tomb chests with carved crosses, very possibly from the primitive cemetery that surrounded the property.
It has false barrel vaulted roofs. In the nave, of modest proportions, there are some tombstones from the Middle Ages under the unpaved floor, and there is an unornamented altarpiece on the altar.
