This set comprising seven chapels built in the 18th century is a quite remarkable architectural and artistic example, unique in the country. The path symbolises the Passion of Christ, represented in altarpiece compositions depicted in several chapels. It begins in the Main Church, spreading through the other five niches located in the historical centre of the city, and it ends in Calvary Chapel, which is the biggest one, offering a vast stairway. These chapels follow a constructive Rococo style orientation and stand out for its great simplicity and artistic unity.
