Chapel built in the 16th century under the patronage of Xoán Fariña. It has a rectangular floor plan and only one nave with a quadrangular apse. Surprinsingly, its most remarkable quality is its simplicity and austerity. Initially it was dedicated to the Good Shepherd and Our Lady of the Snows. On the top, next to an old tree, there is a viewpoint placed over a large rock with a stone cross above it. On 5th August there is a festivity honouring Saint Justus and Pastor, with a procession that goes up until the chapel. The Saints carry a bunch of grapes to beg for a good wine harvest.
