The name of this 17th century chapel translates as ‘Our Lady of the Foot of the Cross’. The chapel has been modified, as can be seen from the front window and façade, which are elaborately decorated in the rococo-style and date from the late 18th century. Inside, the chapel and the triumphal arch are decorated with gilded carving, and there are twelve large imaginative 18th century oil paintings of stories from Genesis. At the rear there is an exterior chapel with an azuelo crucifix.
