The architects, it was built as a tomb and competed successfully in performing this function with another famous local Shrine that is located in the Time. However, after the city began hosting the Jesuits, in the early seventeenth century, the chapel becomes a place for prayer. The Holy fathers decided to freshen up the facade of the chapel of the body of Christ, so the entrance to it acquires Baroque features. These innovations not make a difference in the appearance of the temple, but rather complement it.
