It is the first chapel built on the Sacro Monte by Fra Bernardino Caimi in 1491, and it reproduces the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Outside the entrance door, two little niches, one containing the skull of Blessed Bernardino Caimi and the other a fragment of rock from the true Sepulchre of Jesus, should be noted.

In the porch, on the left, Mary Magdalen kneeling (a 15th cen. wooden statue by Gaudenzio Ferrari ), and on the right, Angel announcing the Resurrection of Jesus. Bending down, one can enter the Sepulchre proper, in which the dead Christ is venerated (15th cen. wooden statue).The paintings are by the Bacchetta brothers (1944).
