The chapel that the humanist Luis de Lucena had built in the middle of the 16th century, also called the chapel of Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles or of the Urbina family, which stood joined to the church of San Miguel until that was demolished in 1887. Outside it looks like a fortress, with crenellated cylindrical bastions, and inside the painted vaults tell stories of Moses and Solomon; a contract of 1548 with two Italian painters is known. Ricardo Velázquez Bosco restored it in the 1910s, and today it shows the public pieces rescued by the Provincial Monuments Commission.
