route 13 A Sionlla – Agualada – O Carballal – Lavacolla

This small Romanesque hermitage, also known as Capela da Nosa Señora das Angustias, is located in Agualada, parish of San Vicente de Marantes, very close to A Sionlla and the route of the English Way to Santiago.
It was built in the 12th century, although it underwent major renovations in the 16th and 18th centuries.
It stands out for its Romanesque triumphal arch, reused from the old cloister of the Cathedral of Santiago, the work of the school of Master Mateo. It is surrounded by a walled enclosure with an atrium, and at its entrance there are sculpted lions reminiscent of the Portico of Glory. Inside, a Baroque altarpiece and medieval decorative elements of great artistic value are preserved.
It is a place with a strong symbolic and heritage charge, ideal for those who enjoy Romanesque art and the history of Compostela.
