The Penelas Chapel is located in the area of the same name, integrated into the locality of Folhadela, in the municipality of Vila Real. This location provides a serene environment, characteristic of areas that harmonize a certain level of development with proximity to more natural landscapes. It is a point of reference for those traversing this area of the district.
After a period of degradation, the Penelas Chapel underwent careful intervention. This renovation allowed the building to regain its integrity and beauty, now emerging as a point of interest for the local community and visitors to the region. Its recovery symbolizes the preservation of the area's heritage and identity, offering an example of how dedication can revitalize spaces of historical and cultural value.
The chapel is dedicated to Saint Lucia, the patron saint of sight, a popular devotion in many regions of the country. This place thus acquires a special meaning for those seeking a moment of contemplation or for those who, by faith, direct themselves to this space. Its reopening offers visitors an environment of peace and reflection, inviting contemplation and rest, away from daily agitation.
