Located three kilometers from Arenas, it was renovated in the 18th century following the guidelines of the architect Ventura Rodríguez, who erected a magnificent funerary chapel . In the sanctuary's garden a thornless rose bush grows, which according to legend is the miraculous work of San Pedro de Alcántara. Interesting collections of liturgical metalwork are exhibited in the Royal Chapel Museum.
