It is the part of the building that presents the most "Gaudinian" architecture and, therefore, the most spectacular, especially due to the expressive value that the stone acquires, both from a constructive and decorative point of view. Located at the back, the chapel of the Casa del Santo Cristo has a Greek cross plan. The transept, that is, the central space, is covered by a dome that rests on a polygonal drum with a false dome roof, formed by the progressive approximation of the courses, a covering technique typical of rural architecture. This entire structure rests on parabolic arches, between which are defined a type of spherical triangles, called shells. In their surroundings, these parabolic arches are supported by four one-piece stone columns, from Gerona. All of this results in a complex in which the ascending direction predominates, which is in line with the exterior walls of the building, especially the façade. On one of the columns that support the arches of the church, located to the right of the altar, you can see the architect's signature, made with modernist characters. The stained glass windows of the chapel represent the saints corresponding to the names of the architect, the legatees (that is, the Castells sisters) and their heirs.

Due to its small size, the cloister of the Casa del Santo Cristo is not intended to organize the different rooms of the asylum, but rather has been conceived as a symbolic element, evoking traditional Catalan monastic architecture. This symbolic rather than functional intentionality is reinforced by the neo-Romanesque decoration, the austerity of which gives identity to the cloister. This is configured, therefore, as a gallery of covered and closed passageways, which is deliberately differentiated from the rest of the building, where the exuberance of forms predominates. The Casa del Santo Cristo is an almost unique architectural complex in Igualada, both for its monumentality – which is sometimes in contradiction with its functionality – and for the wealth of elements it integrates, ranging from modernism to popular and traditional resources.
