Capilla de Cristo Rey en Xustáns
BaltarXustáns (San Martiño)36827 Ponte CaldelasPontevedra
It is a rare square-shaped hermitage built in 1895 and extended in the middle of the 20th century. The upper body is finished by a baluster. The set is crowned by a stone image of Christ, rigid and with a beard, carved using the frontalism technique, opening his cape with his two hands to show his heart circled by a crown of thorns. Inside the chapel there is a small altarpiece that represents the same image of the Redemptor, but done following a more modern style. From the hermitage, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the ría de Vigo and the municipality.
The festivity of Christ the King is celebrated on the first Sunday of July.
