 Chapel of Santo Ovídio

Located on the slope of the S. Pedro Fins mountain in Caldelas (Union of parishes of Caldelas, Sequeiros and Paranhos), the beautiful Chapel of Santo Ovídio was built in the 1830s, in the 18th century. With baroque religious architecture, with a single nave, centralized, quadrangular, with semicircular bodies, it has a plastered façade painted in white, marked by the curvilinear panels of the various bodies. Inside, the main chapel has a main altarpiece with polychrome carvings and marble in red and green, with golden details.
This chapel has the following inscription engraved on the coat of arms of the main portal: “JOZÉ ALVES DE AZEVEDO SERGEANT MOR IN THE DISTRICT OF MINAS DO RIO DAS MORTES, PROFESSED KNIGHT IN THE ORDER OF CHRIST, BORN IN THE CITY OF BRAGA, ORDERED THIS CHAPEL TO BE BUILT IN 1739”, which means that it was built according to instructions and with financing from this gentleman.

Feast in Honor of Santo Ovídio on the 1st Sunday of June.
