It is made of granite and is currently a free-standing structure located in front of the Cultural Center of Estás, though it was originally attached to a wall. It has a rectangular form topped with a mixtilinear pediment, which serves as a support for an iron cross. It features a semicircular arched niche that houses a sculpted granite altarpiece, which is believed not to be the original. It depicts a representation of the souls among the flames, presided over by a bishop crowned by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove.
