With gold-trimed statues and interior, it was done in the 17th century, It is one of the most prominent examples of the New Spanish Baroque and one of the greatest artistic-religious achievements in Mexico.
Many of the images are related to the Dominican Order, which founded the Church and the chapel. When visiting the chapel, you will be overwhelmed by all the gold leaf that was used throughout.
So much, in fact, that we have difficulty taking photos that show much detail of the figures in the chapel.
