The extraordinary vault of this open chapel, one of the most unique examples of 16th century Latin-American architecture, has been subjected to a philological reconstruction as a result of its local and historiographic importance. The text describes, in the first place, the historical and architectural context of this building and goes on to describe its reconstruction, based on the remains conserved and historical and photographic data about its structure and increasing deterioration, the rules of stereotomy and the building methods used in its original construction
