St Vincent's Chapel
The chapel of San Vicente is in the place of the Saint which, during the Modern Age, formed a jurisdictional reserve of its own that also included the places of Os Píos, Custoura, O Caneiro, O Corvo and Perdeán. Despite its size, the old district of Couto was subject "to the Judge therein, and the rest of the parish to the Justice of Salvaterra", writes Ávila y La Cueva (1852). In 1528 it is mentioned as a hermitage in a poor state of repair: ‘...besides this hermitage of St. Vincent is also fallen and has no property...’. Two centuries later, in 1754, it is mentioned again. A few years later, in 1780, the pastoral visit ordered that in the chapel "of St. Vincent: that the corporal remains be burnt as indecent, and that 2 sets and 4 purificators be made... that the roof be repaired". In the 1854 visitation, it is stated that mass is celebrated there on occasion and, every year, on 22 January, the feast of the titular saint. The same document states that the chapel belongs to the parish and that its dimensions are "six metres long and five metres wide". The Mayordomo or caretaker of the chapel of San Vicente in 1819 was Francisco Carrera, from Os Píos.
