The Chapel of Mosén Rubí is a 16th-century religious structure featuring a Greek cross floor plan with vaulted ceilings and granite walls.Renaissance-style arches divide the interior and frame the main altar in the center of the space.
The chapel was constructed in the 16th century at the direction of María Herrera and shows a blend of late Gothic and Renaissance design.Architects Juan Campero and Pedro de Tolosa shaped its appearance and structural elements.
The chapel served as a personal prayer space for its founders and their family to gather for worship.The room reflects their desire to create a sacred space within their own home where devotion could be practiced privately.
Visitors should look for a modest entrance and be ready to navigate a compact interior space carefully.The chapel is small enough to explore thoroughly in a short time once you find the way in.
The altar paintings were created by Flemish artists Felipe and Guillermo Drikse,showing the cultural connections between the Low Countries and Castile.This choice reflects the family's wealth and international connections during the Renaissance period.
