In 1816, Bernardo Abeyta and the other residents of El Potrero, then a separate community, finished this massive adobe chapel, honoring Nuestro Señor de Esquípulas.  It is noted for its 6-foot crucifix and its tradition of healing the sick.  The Santuario remained in the Abeyta family until the 1920's.
