Situada no campo da festa de Sobrado,
atópase baixo a advocación do apóstolo san Xoán.
É unha pequena construción de clara orixe neogótica.
Hai un palco octogonal de pedra situado ao carón da capela
que posúe unha columna de pedra en cada esquina unidas por unha varanda metálica.
Ten dous chanzos de pedra para subir ao palco
e en tres das esquinas hai unha falsa acacia."

"Located in the field of the festival of Sobrado,
it is under the patronage of the apostle Saint John.
It is a small construction of clear neo-Gothic origin.
There is an octagonal stone box located next to the chapel
that has a stone column in each corner joined by a metal railing.
It has two stone steps to go up to the box
