Capela de Feá
About this heritage
The Capela de Feá is a small religious building recently restored, constructed with irregular ashlar and rubble masonry. It has a square plan and a four-sided pitched roof, giving it a compact and traditional appearance. Since it is located on private property, it is not possible to observe all its architectural details, but from the outside a small bell gable with a single opening can be seen, topped by a stone cross. This chapel, although simple, is an example of Galician rural religious heritage and contributes to the historic landscape of the village of Feá.

It is a peaceful and beautiful place where the villagers can pray and celebrate festivals.
To know it better

The building, with a square plan, is constructed of irregular ashlar and rubble masonry, vernacular materials that enhance its integration into the environment.
