Built in the 18th century, this baroque chapel pays homage to São Sebastião, a Christian martyr traditionally invoked against epidemics.
With its simple but harmonious architecture, it stands out for its scenic setting and the popular devotion that is still associated with it today. The name "Carvalheiras" refers to the area where it is located, once wooded with oak trees, which reinforces its bucolic and intimate character.
More than a place of worship, this chapel is a symbol of Braga's religiosity and the persistence of traditions in the heart of the historic center.
