Believed to be Saint John Chapel(?).
Discovered during the 2005 2006 archaeological diggings.
Dates from early 13th (late 12th??) century and seems that by the 17 century was already demolished. In a 17th century engraving the Rotunda appears, so the ideea that it was demolished later then the 16th century is credible.
A remembrance of it is done in a note about some money given to carry debris left from the demolition of the chapel in 1530.
It is considered one of the oldest places of worship in town.
