Chapel of São Pedro de Balsemão
Chapel of São Pedro de Balsemão, Visigothic chapel in Sé, Portugal.
The Chapel of São Pedro de Balsemão features three naves separated by rounded arches supported on Corinthian capitals with phytomorphic ornamentation.
Originally constructed during the Visigothic period in the 7th century, the chapel underwent renovations in the 10th century following regional repopulation.
The interior contains a carved wooden retable covered in gold leaf, Gothic tombs, and a stone casket depicting the Last Supper and Crucifixion.
Located 3 kilometers northeast of Lamego, the chapel requires a downhill walk through a village and can be accessed from Capela do Desterro.
Archaeological evidence suggests the chapel stands on the site of a Roman villa, with inscriptions dating to the period of Emperor Claudius.
