Situated in Largo da Capela, in the heart of the village of Teomil, Tondela municipality, this small granite chapel is easy to find and integrated into the typical housing of the region.
Built of granite stone, with simple and robust lines, it well represents the rural style of the small chapels in inland Portugal. The two-pitched roof of red tile is topped with a granite cross.
One of the most visible elements is the small belfry with a stone arch and iron bell, a symbol of connection between the community and religious moments.
The chapel is surrounded by typical dwellings, providing a calm and welcoming atmosphere, ideal for those seeking a brief stop and moments of contemplation away from the main tourist routes.
It is a reference point for the inhabitants and preserves the religious and cultural character of the village. Although simple, it is loaded with symbolic value for the community.
It can be visited on foot while strolling through the village. The surrounding area is flat and easy to circulate, even for people with reduced mobility.
The contrast between the old stone of the chapel and the neighboring houses offers an authentic view of Portuguese rural life.
