It is situated on a high point of the locality, which allows for a wide view over the parish of Sarzedas and, on clear days, even as far as the Serra da Estrela.
Isolated stone bell tower, distinguished by a bellfry with a striking bell sound. The construction presents simple and rustic features, with a symbolic presence in the surrounding landscape.
It would have been part of an old chapel, now disappeared, which reinforces the heritage value of the site. It has undergone restoration work in recent years.
Tranquil space, ideal for a brief stop during a visit to the region. The surroundings invite contemplation and photography, with a view of the horizon.
It is a reference point for the local population, who keep the history of the place alive and gladly share their stories with visitors.
Easy access by road, with direct entry to the bell tower area. Clean and well-kept area, with some rest areas in the vicinity.
