It is a small neo-baroque temple located in the Arenal neighbourhood, the result of the reconstruction in 1990 of a previous chapel that was in a state of ruin. Since 1977 it has been the headquarters of the Hermandad de las Aguas, which processes on the afternoon of Holy Monday.

The original chapel was built at the end of the 17th century. In the following century, part of the Maestranza de Artillería buildings were built around it. When these buildings were demolished to make way for the current theatre, the structure of the chapel was compromised, so the aforementioned reconstruction was necessary, respecting its original appearance.
This project was directed by the architects Luis Marín and Aurelio del Pozo, the same ones who designed the Maestranza theatre. In addition to rebuilding the temple itself, the brotherhood house and tower were built next to it.
The chapel is made up of a single nave with a Latin cross plan, although with the arms barely prominent. The central space is covered by a dome on pendentives, hemispherical on the inside and octagonal on the outside.
Its main façade is very simple, with a large entrance under a basket-shaped arch that allows the "pasos" to leave and collect. It is protected by a simple eaves. At the top there is a two-span bell gable that houses the bells.
The style of the tower added in 1990 is completely different. It is a simple prism, with three square windows on two sides. At the top, the terrace is surrounded by a battlement in the style of a defensive tower.
