Visit the Chapel of Santo Apolinário - Izeda

The Chapel of Santo Apolinário is located in the Parish of Izeda. The temple does not have any feature worth highlighting, except reuse, as a support of a front porch, two columns and respective capitals with a Roman typology.
For this reason the place where this chapel is situated is attached to a Roman site, although on the surface, in its vicinity, no other material remains that indicate the presence of an old settlement.
