Jesus dela Peña Chapel, Spanish colonial chapel in Marikina, Philippines.
The stone chapel stands near the Marikina River with a Neo-Romanesque design featuring arched openings and monolithic columns on its facade.
The Society of Jesus constructed this religious structure in 1630, marking the first Catholic establishment in the Marikina region under Archbishop Pedro de Arce's approval.
The chapel maintains regular Catholic services and holds the annual Santacruzan festival, connecting the local community through religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the chapel using jeepneys or tricycles from Santolan Station, with multiple transportation options available throughout Marikina City.
The structure earned its name 'Jesus dela Peña' from the rocky terrain where Jesuit missionaries conducted their first Mass in a converted storage house.
