In 1753 year, there was a young man, a horse rider who in a moment has lost his control in a race and he felt down. After this accident, Mateo Pratts, the city’s secretary has prayed a lot to Our God to save the youth. Then, in that place the chapel was built, preciselly when prayers were answered.
Nowadays, this is a good point for tourists to visit this chapel in the old city, the Cristo Chapel and also to visit one of the most renowned historical monuments.

The altar of this chapel is composed of gold and silver which visitors can not touch, they only can see the altar through the doors made by glass. It is not so easy to visit this chapel because it is opened only two days per week.

This chapel is considered a small chapel located at the southern end of Cristo St. The legend  an the history of this chapel celebrates practically the miracle that happened with that boy. But the real truth is that both of them, the boy and the horse fell to their deaths. Then the chapel has started its building to make sure that such a horrible accident would never happen again.
