Situated on the Central Street of the village of Noura, in the municipality of Murça, this chapel is clearly visible by the main road of the locality, at an easily accessible point and surrounded by nature and traditional houses.
Built in 1945, the chapel features simple but striking elements of 20th-century popular religious architecture in granite.
The façade is entirely made of granite stone, typical of the region, with straight and solid lines, conveying robustness and authenticity.
It has a small bell tower with a cross at the top and a bell in the center, a common symbol in Portuguese rural chapels.
Access is through a painted wooden door, aged by time, which gives it a certain rustic charm.
Notable features include pyramid-shaped pinnacles on the upper corners, a simple yet traditional decoration for chapels of this type.
The area is tranquil and offers a wide view over the region's hills and vineyards, making it ideal for those who appreciate walks in villages and natural landscapes.
Although small, this chapel is still used on specific dates and local festivals, remaining a living part of the community.
It reflects the local religiosity and the care of inland populations in preserving places of worship and identity.
