"Capilla del Cristo" is a chapel is a Puerto Rican landmark that was built in 1753 next to "Parque de las Palomas". According to one of the versions local folklore regarding the chapel, during a horse race in the festival celebrating Saint John the Baptist, a racer went over the edge of the city wall since he was unable to stop his horse in time. The chapel was then built to commemorate the rider and to block the end of the street in order to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring.
