This chapel was built in 1792 by José Luis Segura and his wife, Francisca Cubas. It is built of clay bricks and has a porch above the entrance door supported by side walls. Its main feature is the extension of the roof towards one of the sides forming an eave and a gallery. It has a lateral tower that finishes off in a dome. It was declared a National Historic Monument and harbors the font that was used for the baptism of Friar Mamerto Esquíu. There is a polychrome wooden image of Our Lord of Miracles that was brought from Peru.
