 At the base of the chapel are the foundation stones bearing the date and the name of local notables who participated in the ceremony. |
 The cemetery of Bethania Chapel lies adjacent to the building, to the left as you look at it. |
 Bethania Chapel is a rectangular structure with eight windows arranged geometrically on the side. |
