Capilla de la Inmaculada Concepción, Colonial chapel in Huacalera, Argentina.
The chapel features a triple apse structure with thick adobe walls, a sloping roof, and a single tower topped by a hemispherical dome.
Built in 1655, the chapel gained prominence in 1841 when it served as a stopping point for troops carrying General Juan Lavalle's remains to Bolivia.
The interior displays paintings from the Cuzco School, including a representation of the Marriage of the Virgin dating from the 18th century.
The chapel stands along National Route 9 between Tilcara and Humahuaca, near the intersection of Rio Grande and Quebrada de La Huerta.
The structure contains a large wooden portal with double leaves, decorated with hemispherical rosettes and laurel motifs typical of northern Argentina.
