Cruz do Carvalho (Capela da)

Somewhere there is a reference to a chapel 'located at the Cruz do Carvalho stop, so called on a property named Quintinha and built in 1767 by Captain João Francisco de Freitas Esmeraldo, a professed knight of the Order of Christ. We do not know the dedication of this chapel, nor does it refer to the chapel located a few dozen meters from Cruz do Carvalho, which today belongs to Luiz Vogado de Bettencourt.
