The sepulturas are arranged in two groups.
The first you see are on the Southern side of the chapel, four rather well preserved sepulturas ;
on the North of the chapel, there are two more (non vidi), one well preserved while the other is partially destroyed.
One may fear the the chapel is built on more such 'sepulturas'.
