"Se construyó en 1.511 probablemente como Hospital de la Sangre, tal y como sucede con la Capilla de la Soledad, la Capilla de la Veracruz fue restaurada en su totalidad.
Capilla de una sola nave con cúpula sobre el presbiterio y donde destaca un pequeño retablo barroco, conocido como el Retablito y realizado por Dionisio de Ribas en 1.660. En el altar mayor se venera al Santísimo Cristo de la Vera-Cruz, imagen de la Escuela castellana de finales del XVI, y a María Santísima de los Dolores, atribuida a Cristóbal Ramos. Entre sus elementos más destacables están la talla de San Juan Niño, conocido como “San Juanito”, de Juan Martínez Montañés y el paso del Cristo, de Antonio Castillo Lastrucci.
La sacristía cuenta con una exposición de los enseres de la Hermandad."
