Chapel from the beginning of the 20th century located in the cemetery. It has a belfry and a barrel vault over phaixon arches.
Leaving from Ribadeo towards A Coruña along the 634 national road, about 7 km from the town, in the place of A Rochela, on the left hand side we take the detour towards Vilandriz-Iglesia. Going straight ahead, at 1.5 km we will find the church of A Devesa and in front of it this cemetery.
Financed by emigrants who made their fortune in the Americas, a walk through this cemetery allows us to see the influence of Indian architectural criteria, in this case with an evident vocation to eternalize. In it is the mausoleum of one of his benefactors: Pedro Murias, who also made other important donations to his native town. It is part of the Route of the Indianos through the parishes.
