Many of the local inhabitants have transformed this place into a popular religious museum. There are thirteen small chapels harboring thousands of sundry objects including brides' dresses, jewelry, porcelain objects, timepieces, sport trophies, silver and bronze ornamental objects, musical instruments, images of the Virgin, portraits of Perón (Juan Domingo: 1895-1974, Argentine military and political leader: president 1946-55, 1973-74), old and new photographs, etc. The "Difunta Correa" [deceased woman by the surname of Correa] died of thirst in 1830, but her son continued to suckle and managed to survive.
