Because of an outburst of plague, the local people of Alfena built the chapel of S. Roque in 1599, as a promise. It is dedicated to S. Roque, protector against the plague. It was restored in the 60s of the XX century. It is located along the old road that connected the cities of Porto and Guimarães. It is part of the urban area in the place of Codiceira. This place was one of the most important of Alfena.
