Chapel of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is a small rectangular church built of plastered masonry and featuring a gabled roof covered with Arabic-style tiles. The main façade is preceded by an open portico that shelters the entrance and rests on wooden posts with footings that support the roof.

The interior consists of a single nave covered by a vault with molded ribs that rise from corbels and a decorated keystone. The simplicity of its forms and its vernacular character make it a representative example of the region’s traditional religious architecture.
