A Neoclassical oratory of two chapels, a lower one, austere, and an upper one, bright, the work of the architects Torcuato Cayón and Torcuato Benjumeda. Dated 1771, it was consecrated in 1796 by Bishop Antonio Martínez de la Plaza. In the upper chapel three paintings by Goya can be seen, and for its Good Friday José Sáenz de Santamaría commissioned Haydn's Seven Last Words of Christ.
