The Chapel of S. Pedro has deep historical roots in the community of Parambos. The antiquity of its construction is visible in its very structure, suggesting an origin dating back to distant times. Initially, the chapel may have had purposes different from its current ones, having evolved over time to become the place of worship it is today, dedicated to Saint Peter.
The architecture of the chapel is marked by simplicity and sobriety, common elements in long-standing religious buildings. Its features reveal influences from constructive styles of other centuries. The use of local materials, such as stone and pebbles, is notable, which not only gives it an authentic and robust appearance but also intrinsically links it to the landscape where it is situated.
