Guided Story

Do you feel that gentle breeze rustling through the trees? It adds a soothing soundtrack to your visit here. Look up at the chapel's modest façade, built in the late 1700s in baroque style. Legend has it that the workers, drawn by the peace of this place, chose to work night shifts under the moonlight to enjoy the serenity. Imagine the soft glow of the moon casting shadows on the fresh stones as they worked. Behind you lie the old graves, whispering stories of generations past. This chapel isn't just a place for reflection but a silent witness to history.
