With a very simple layout, it is the work of Miguel Ferro Caaveiro, revised by Ventura Rodríguez and completed in 1784. The works were financed with the alms of the devotees of the souls in purgatory. On the neoclassical façade, giant order Ionic columns support a large pediment. In the center there is a sculpture with the souls burning in the fire of purgatory and, at the top, two angels adoring the cross. The nave has a hall floor plan with chapels on the sides. Inside, the altarpieces by Prado Mariño stand out.
