"Small chapel of a very simple typology, without a defined style, located in an urban environment. According to an inscription on the façade, it was built in 1885. Its rectangular plan gives rise to a single nave. Its walls are trimmed and painted white, so its panels contrast with the stonework of the escutcheons. Simple and austere building, with hardly any concessions to decoration. At present it is deconsecrated and is used as an exhibition hall and other cultural uses.
It stands out a bell tower resolved with an iron structure with a lattice with clear modernist connotations."

"One of the preferred materials of Modernism was wrought iron. The Chapel of San Roque has a bell tower in which the forge is twisted into different geometric figures, which are combined with other corrugated figures, serving as a frame, or prison, for its two bells."
