Capilla de Chamical, Colonial chapel in Salta Province, Argentina.
The chapel measures 11 meters by 3 meters, featuring a flat facade with a belfry at the top and walls painted in yellow.
General Martin Miguel de Guemes used this chapel as his headquarters during the independence campaigns, coordinating operations with gaucho militias against Spanish forces.
The chapel served as a burial ground for gaucho soldiers who fought in the independence wars, with numerous crosses marking their final resting places.
