Taking advantage of the emptying of one of the Albarrana Towers of the wall, a chapel was installed in 1752 on Calle de la Corredera. A rococo altarpiece with a Table of Christ was installed in it, linked to the merchants and merchants who were in the street and who paid for its construction.

The chapel forms part of an albarrana tower, one of the defensive structures of Talavera's first walled enclosure, later converted for religious use. Its Rococo altarpiece is particularly noteworthy, housing the carving of Christ of the Merchants, a symbol of devotion especially among the merchant guild.
The base features granite pieces with coats of arms, possibly belonging to the Maldonado lineage, although their exact provenance remains a subject of debate.

It is located on Corredera del Cristo Street, near the Plaza del Reloj (Clock Square), in the old town of Talavera de la Reina, Toledo.
It is visible from the street, and it is common for passersby to cross themselves as they pass by, continuing a deeply rooted popular tradition.
