Visit the Chapel of the Holy Spirit - Nogueira (Braga)

The Capela do Espírito Santo, located in the Parish of Nogueira, is made of stone. This 16th-century chapel was built in 1567, which is marked on a stone embedded inside the chancel.
The main altar presents an image of the Divine Holy Spirit meaning the Father Son, Christ on the Cross, and Holy Spirit, the symbol of the Dove that appears on the screen surrounded by busts of angels, also has images of St. Benedict and St. Sebastian. The altars are in gilt carving.
On the side altars there is the image of St. Anthony, of Our Lady of Fatima and of the Lord of the Steps of St. Joseph, of Our Lady of Health, of St. Judas Thaddeus and of Jesus on stone peanuts.
In the chapel there is also the Sacred Custody in silver considered the richest parochial jewel.
