The chapel is located in São Paio de Mondego, a quiet locality in the municipality of Penacova, surrounded by houses and green areas.
It is a small and discreet chapel, with stone and white plastered walls, stone ashlars at the corners, and a hipped roof with decorative pinnacles.
The exterior conveys a serene atmosphere, with a wooden gate and metal grate. The simple and traditional design gives it a welcoming and rustic appearance.
The chapel is served by a Portuguese cobblestone path and a small road, making it easily accessible on foot or by car, next to houses and vegetable gardens.
Nearby there is a small garden with plants, palm trees, and green areas, which make the environment more pleasant for visitors.
A few meters from the chapel there is a bandstand, a children's playground, a stage for parties, and the Church of Nossa Senhora das Ermidas, creating a community space for meetings and events.
Near the chapel there is an agricultural tank and other elements that reflect the locality's connection to rural life.
