This paper will present the story of the founding of the chapel, as well as a description of the space and the modifications suffered during the nineteenth century, and the iconographic features of devotion and efforts of different characters to spread this cult through engravings, stamps, paintings and sculptures that represent the Virgin of Loreto.
