CHAPEL OF THE OLD LEPER HOUSE OF SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL – Architecture

The chapel is close to the romantic style and is erected on a Latin Cross floor plan. To the west and over the narthex where access to the central nave is found, a square tower is projected with Italian reminiscences, formed by two equal bodies framed by over pilasters; in the primer body a rosette can be appreciated and in the second, by its four phases, there is a clock with a thick circular frame. Access is formed by a high bay with a Roman arch, which lodges the double winged carved wood door, protected by a glass metal structure awning. The buttresses modules the construction and on the walls openings with pointed arches can be appreciated that give place to large stained glass windows that provide lighting to the space. The cornice and the decorative strip of arches surround the building.

In the interior, the two naves end in barrel Roman vaults, linked in the intersection by a cross rib vault. In each end of the transept there is a high choir, with guard rails and alfarjes carved in wood. A third high choir is located west of the central nave. The apse is straight.

The walls are made from brick masonry with lime mortar. The roof structure is made of wood. The vaults are structured with slats and plaster. The ceramics of the pavement are imported.
