Using epigraphic testimonies and unpublished documents, we can establish that the chapel of the family Neira de Luaces was founded in the first quarter of the 16th Century, being sponsored by Juan Outeiro, ancient alderman of Santiago de Compostela. This chapel is in the church of Santa María do Camiño, a building directly linked with the pilgrimages tradition, situated near of the old door of the French Way. We try to describe the historical evolution of this chapel till today, making a bibliographical review and a historiographical synthesis, where are combined material evidences and textual testimonies. We are also publishing new information about its artistic configuration that acquires a new dimension and a new meaning, being understood in the context of the family pantheon.
