Esta torre sineira está colocada ao longo da fachada principal da capela, ela foi construida em pedra granitica com aberturas para três sinos, duas aberturas para dois maiores em baixo e uma abertura na parte de cima para um mais pequeno.


"Santuário construído num dos locais de culto à Virgem mais antigos do distrito de Bragança, onde se misturam componentes agro-pastoris e militares, e nas imediações de uma estrada romana. É formado por igreja que deve datar do séc. 16, mas que sofreu sucessivas reformas, que a foram alterando, nomeadamente no séc. 17, altura em que se deve ter construído ou reformado a capela-mor e aberto a janela de capialço da nave. Tem planta retangular composta por nave e capela-mor, mais estreita e mais alta, interiormente com iluminação axial e unilateral. Fachada principal em cantaria aparente, terminada em empena truncada por dupla sineira e rasgada por portal em arco abatido, de moldura recortada, entre duas frestas. A modinatura do portal axial, bem como o remate da sineira com empena contendo um outro vão mais pequeno deve ter resultado de uma alteração de finais do séc. 18 / 19, pois nas Memórias Paroquiais, de 1758, alude-se à frontaria já toda em cantaria, com dois sinos, e a porta virada a S. com alpendre, mas com três arcos e não uma arquitrave, como tem atualmente. A fachada lateral direita é rasgada por porta travessa, quinhentista, em arco de volta perfeita de aduelas largas, protegido por alpendre, e fresta de capialço no topo da nave e capela-mor, a qual tem a fachada posterior terminada em empena."

This bell tower is placed along the main facade of the chapel, it was built of granitic stone with openings for three bells, two openings for two larger ones underneath and an opening in the upper part for a smaller one.


"Sanctuary built in one of the oldest places of worship in the district of Bragança, where agro-pastoral and military components are mixed, and in the immediate vicinity of a Roman road. It is formed by a church that should date from the 16th century, but that underwent successive reforms, that were changing it, namely in the 17 century, when the chancel must have been built or renovated and the ship's window opened. It has a rectangular plan composed by nave and main chapel, narrower and higher, interiorly with axial and unilateral illumination. Main façade in apparent stonework, finished in gable truncated by double bells and torn by a portal in a downed arch, with a cut frame, between two cracks. The modinatura of the axial portal, as well as the closing of the bell with gable containing a smaller one smaller must have resulted of a change of end of 18/19 century, because in the Parochial Memories of 1758, it is alluded to the entire front, with two bells, and the door facing S. with a porch, but with three arches and not an architrave, as it currently has. The right lateral façade is torn by a sixteenth-century doorway, in a perfect back arch with wide staves, protected by a porch, and a crack in the top of the nave and main chapel, which has the back façade finished in gable."
