Chapel of Mosén Rubí

The Chapel of Mosén Rubí features a Greek cross layout with ribbed vaults, granite ashlar walls, and Renaissance arches dividing the interior spaces.

Built in the 16th century by order of María Herrera, the chapel combines late Gothic elements with Renaissance additions from architects Juan Campero and Pedro de Tolosa.

The central cenotaph contains the remains of founders Andrés Vázquez Dávila and María Herrera, showcasing detailed sculptural work by Andrés López from the late 1500s.
