Chapel of S. Bernardino de Sena

Alfândega da Fé
Description

The chapel of S. Bernardino, dated on 1741, is now home to an important festive gathering of people in the village of Gebelim. The façade is simple, dominated by lintel portal straight flanked by thick pilasters addorsed, ended on rounded pyramid. The pediment, distinctly triangular, has inside a small niche, and given the reduced height of the temple, extends to the gable. This is cut by a disproportionate belfry with a fan which shelters a bell. The façades of the corners are of squared stone with pyramidal ended. On the right side is a porch supported by four faceted columns, devoid of decoration and based on a small wall. On the left side is the sacristy. The building's cornice is on squared stone. Inside, with a single nave stands the chancel with rural feature carvings. The wood covering was painted, showing a rare representation of S. Bernardino, quite deteriorated.
