In the seventeenth century, an image of Saint Luzia was on the Saint Peter's Chapel, accompanied by Saint Apollonia of Alexandria. An altar dedicated to Saint Luzia is referred to in the eighteenth-century documental sources, situated on the aisle on the right-hand side of the church's entrance. The young martyr was along side the images of Saint Anthony and Saint Rodrigo, and their feast was in charge of the masons' brotherhood.These church's aisles altars were removed in the twentieth century during the National Monuments Restoration Campaign, and the image was moved to the altar of Our Lady of the Brable, where it is located today.
