| Abstract: | The present paper describes the story of Santo Domingo de la Calzada chapel, and its last transformation in 2013, due to the necessity of solving serious problems related with water penetrations. The chapel was constructed in 1978 into a long 35- meter tunnel under a M-30 road. Many functional and liturgical difficulties derived from this fact. The paper describes mainly how those problems were studied and solved —specially those questions about the design of the tabernacle and the altar— during the last rehabilitation works. |

| Translated abstract: | La presente comunicación describe la historia de la capilla de santo Domingo de la Calzada, y su última transformación, en 2013, debida a la necesidad de resolver importantes problemas de filtración de agua. La capilla se construyó en 1978 dentro de un túnel de 35 metros de longitud, bajo una via pública. De este hecho se derivaron varios problemas funcionales y litúrgicos. La comunicación describe principalmente cómo, en la rehabilitación de 2013, se han estudiado y resuelto dichos problemas, especialmente los que se refieren al diseño del tabernáculo y el altar. |
