At the west end of the town, in the Plaza de San Agustín, is the Ermita de Jesús, a round Baroque chapel (1777) which now houses the Salzillo Museum, devoted to the work of the Murcia-born sculptor Francisco Salzillo. Among the works on exhibition are the famous processional figures (pasos) carried in the Holy Week processions (particularly notable being a representation of the Last Supper), clay models and a magnificent Nativity scene with more than 500 figures dressed in 18th century Murcian costume.
