A small private oratory built in the early 20th century. The interior of the chapel makes a great visual impact with its decorated walls, bearing numerous Latin sayings in Gothic lettering and dominated by deep blue, gold and red.

Lavishly ornamented and supported by solid columns, the apse has eight small diamond-shaped stained-glass windows of various colours. Above the apse, an image of the Sacred Heart presides over the whole.
This Modernista work is by the architect Josep Maria Jujol, who worked on the chapel during the 1940s. His intervention consisted of extending the building with an apse and the painted and ornamental decoration of the interior.
An image of the Virgin of Lourdes presides over a façade in a pronounced Neo-Gothic style, with finials on the side pinnacles, pointed arches on the windows and the doorway, and a small bell gable at the top.
