Santa Bárbara Chapel

Marialva

Marialva

Small church of sober and simple architecture, it has a square floor plan, featuring a doorway with a semi-circular arch.
The drainage system for the roof is located below the cornice line, using cannon gargoyles for water runoff.
Apart from its cultural role, being rarely used nowadays, it is also an impressive lookout over Devesa (the lower part of the settlement) and the scenery to the south.
