Construction consecrated to the Virgin of Guadalupe. It is called Chapitel to the type of open chapels with pyramidal covers that were usually erected in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is a small chapel composed of a single vault on isolated columns. It is  known as "El Calvario" by its cross which was in the interior pedestal. According to the legend the place served as a place to humiliate. Due to the type of architecture that is identified, this Chapitel of  Cuernavaca is the only one that is preserved throughout the country.
