The chapel forms part of an albarrana tower, one of the defensive structures of Talavera's first walled enclosure, later converted for religious use. Its Rococo altarpiece is particularly noteworthy, housing the carving of Christ of the Merchants, a symbol of devotion especially among the merchant guild.
The base features granite pieces with coats of arms, possibly belonging to the Maldonado lineage, although their exact provenance remains a subject of debate.
