Also called Capela do Salvador, it is one of the Galician examples of pre-romanic architecture. It was built in the 9th century. The door is an example of Mozarbe art. Close to the Capela, there is another treasure in the shape of a tree: a Mediterranean cypress more than 27 metres high and more than 500 years old.
