The Chapel of the Rosary is a construction of the twentieth century, from the late twenties. It is located in what was known as the “house of the birds”, where grain was stored.
Located in the central Rosario Street, it houses the Brotherhood of the Vera-Cruz, whose titular images, the Christ of the Vera-Cruz and the Virgin of the Rosary, occupy the main altar.
This emblematic building is located at the beginning of the street “Los Cerros”, or what is the same, Rosario Street. The main architect to bring this chapel to fruition was the then parish priest Primitivo Tarancón, who acquired the building and the surrounding area. The inauguration of the chapel took place on November 21, 1920. Years later, on November 15, 1933, he himself, on behalf of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, registered the property.
But, what was in that place? It seems that a grain warehouse was located there, and the place became known as the “House of the Birds. And why a chapel there? It seems that it was in a nearby place, where a local resident, known as “el Lati”, had a very special apparition, that of the Virgin. Another version, as stated by the Brotherhood of Vera Cruz y Rosario itself, is that the parish priest built this chapel in thanksgiving for his appointment as such, replacing his uncle Juan Tarancon, and for his great devotion to the Virgin of the Rosary.
