This chapel
was built thanks to Francisco de Otero y Cossío,
archbishop of Santa Fé de Bogotá, whom the sepulchral
monument inside depicts. Its ostentatious Baroque décor
on the octagonal dome with decorated pendentives is
outstanding. There is a tabernacle containing the relic,
also designed by Fray Pedro Martínez de Cardeña. |
