R	Reis Quarteu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Belíssima capela, de grandes dimensões, situada no largo principal e mais nobre da freguesia alto-minhota de Seixas.

J	João Jaques on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Esta capela foi erigida no séc. XIX, contudo sabe-se que a devoção a este santo existia desde o séc. XV com grande afluência de peregrinos. Tal movimento mereceu em 1455 a autorização de D. Afonso V para se realizar uma feira franca por altura da festa. De destacar na fachada principal da capela o janelão e os painéis em azulejo de S. Bento. This chapel was erected in the 19th century. However, it is known that devotion to this saint existed since the 19th century. XV with large influx of pilgrims. Such movement deserved in 1455 the authorization of D. Afonso V to hold a free fair at the time of the party. Of note in the main façade of the chapel is the large window and the tiled panels of S. Bento.
J	Jose Carlos Gago on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Capilla de grandes dimensiones, bajo un estilo neoclásico, presenta una planta longitudinal formada por nave y capilla mayor rectangulares con la sacristía como anexo a ésta y la torre campana en un plano más recuado que la fachada, a su izquierda. La fachada triangular en contracurva está delimitada por pilastras y finalizada con pináculos. Es rasgada por el portal en arco abatido, sobrepujada por un frontón también contracurvo y encimada por una ventana que ilumina el coro. El portal está flanqueado por dos paneles de azulejos. La torre, de planta cuadrada, presenta cuatro campanas en arco de vuelta perfecta y está rodeada por un pequeño vano de guardia de hierro.

It is torn by the folded arch portal, surmounted by a counter-curved pediment and surmounted by a window that illuminates the choir. The portal is flanked by two tile panels. The tower, with a square plan, has four bells in a perfect round arc and is surrounded by a small iron guard opening.
M	Martin Zehentner on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hübsche Kirche auf dem Jakobsweg. Irgendwie läuft man am Caminho Português immer an Kirchen vorbei aber klar, es ist ja auch ein Pilgerweg. Diese hier am Fluß Rio Miño sticht durch ihre schlanke Gestaltung hervor und den beiden Fliesenbildnissen links und rechts vom Eingang. Bei meinem Besuch leider verschlossen. Pretty church on the Way of St. James. Somehow you always walk past churches at Caminho Português but clear, it is also a pilgrimage route. This one here on the Rio Miño river stands out due to its slim design and the two tile pictures to the left and right of the entrance. Unfortunately closed during my visit.
