Capilla de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios

The Capilla de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios is a chapel with Renaissance architecture located at Avenida Pardo de Cela in Ourense. Inside, three naves separated by columns hold a marble tomb and several stone statues that define the interior space.

The Mendez Montoto family established this chapel in 1522 using their wealth to create a sanctuary for travelers passing through the region. The construction reflected their commitment to providing spiritual refuge for those on journeys.

The chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and holds deep meaning for those seeking her protection and blessing. Visitors today notice the devotional atmosphere through the carefully placed stone statues and the way locals respect the sacred space.

The chapel is located at Avenida Pardo de Cela and welcomes visitors during daylight hours with no admission fee required. You can reach it easily on foot and move through the space at a comfortable pace.

The grounds surrounding the chapel once hosted duels and traveling circuses before transforming into modern sports facilities. This evolution reveals how the character of the location changed dramatically while the sanctuary itself remained unchanged through the centuries.
