Description

The hermitage consists of a single nave with a half barrel vault, lunettes and simulated windows, except for one that gives light above the door. The nave measures 15.75 x 5.04 = 80.95 square meters, not counting the 1.30 meters that the altars have on each side. Of these there are six: at the foot of the nave, side of the Gospel, San Lorenzo, the Virgen del Carmen, the Virgen de la Soledad, St. Teresa.

On the outside of the hermitage there are two buildings: one was the hermit's dwelling and the other the lazaretto. After the completion of the current work we do not know how the plant of the whole will be.

The hermitage has a rectangular floor plan and is preceded by a portico. It consists of a single nave with a half barrel vault supported on pilasters and buttresses, lunettes and simulated windows, except one that gives light above the door.

The nave measures 15.75 x 5.04 = 80.95 m2, not counting the side chapels, with altars at the back, 1.30 m deep. There are six chapels of this type, which conserve decorative remains of the original construction: at the foot of the nave, on the Gospel side, Saint Lawrence, the Virgin of Carmen, the Virgin of Solitude and Saint Theresa.

In the main chapel there is a fresco painting simulating an altarpiece with Corinthian columns, in the center of which there is a niche with the image of the patron saint, in modern decorated plaster.

In the chapels of the side of the Gospel some frescos are advinan, with ornamental motives of rococo style, in bad state.

To the outside of the hermitage there are two bodies of building: one was the housing of the hermit and another the lazaretto. The door is linteled, without decoration, over which rises a belfry of a single body. The whole was built in poor construction.
