Señor de la Expiración Chapel

When the Dominican convent was designed in the capital of the viceroyalty, a corner of the property was set aside for a temple and atrium. The temple survives on the site to this day, but the wall that delimited the atrium fell down in the 19th century. In the atrium there were several chapels to accommodate neighbors and devotees organized in brotherhoods or confraternities. For the XVII century the Dominicans propitiated the creation of a brotherhood of blacks and mulattoes dedicated to Christ in his expiration and the Virgin of Consolation, the chapel was rebuilt in the XVIII century and had four altars with altarpieces. Today it is the only chapel that survives in the space making up the atrium of Santo Domingo. It was the site of the repression orchestrated by police and firemen against students of the University on May 23, 1929, which led to Autonomy for the National University.
