Nazarene chapel, Baroque chapel in old town Pontevedra, Spain
The Nazarene Chapel exhibits granite walls topped with wooden roofing and Galician tiles, positioned along Duque de Tetuán Street across from Principal Theatre.
Originally built in the 14th century as the Chapel of the Emparedadas, it served religious women who lived confined within its walls with minimal contact.
The chapel houses a three-section baroque altarpiece featuring Jesus the Nazarene in the center, accompanied by Virgin and Child images on both sides.
The chapel opens exclusively on the first Friday of March, when visitors gather to request three specific wishes related to health, employment, and love.
The structure retains large medieval tower ashlars within its walls, connecting to an ancient pazo belonging to the Mendiño family of Pontevedra.
