    Tips

    August 3, 2025

    On October 8, 1774, the inhabitants of Xertelo appeared before the notary João de Miranda. They justified their desire to build a chapel by arguing that the main church was too far away, almost three-quarters of a mile, and the Chapel of Reversa was half a mile away, making it difficult for its inhabitants to practice their religion and administer the sacraments to the sick. For these reasons, they requested permission from the Archbishop of Braga to build a chapel in the aforementioned location of Xertelo, entitled "Our Lady of Health."
