Virxe da Mercé
Object
The devotion to the Virgin María in the place is ancient. In the chapel of Lapido it was kept on the door, a polychrome stone carvings of a Virgin Mother with the child Jesus. His traces give it possibly at the beginning of the s. XIV, having influences from Italian painting that in turn has Byzantine influences. It could have been part of the fountain that is on the wall, behind the chapel, a small sanctuary or altar in a way that is still preserved in the Bugallido Hill. The virgin that stands on the door that gives the hermitage is the Virgin of the Carmen transformed into Virxe da Merced. At present, for which we have been able to observe the hermitage behind, it does not retain any source. This mower could have been buried under the soil or would be removed in some of its restorations.
