Built in the 16th century, the structure is composed of two buildings: the chapel and the court. The court is a long, rectangular building with seven arches and a high-peaked roof in the shape of a trapezoid, while the chapel is a square building with a tall, four-sided dome. The two buildings are connected by an arcade, and the court has a large, symmetrical stairway leading up to its entrance.
