Description

Its construction dates back to the 19th century. It is a small temple with a gabled tile roof, attached on the right side and back to private homes, with its facade slightly protruding from the rest of the houses on the street. At the head of the church is the sacristy of lesser height. Before the recent renovation, the walls were painted white with cream-colored highlights, openings and baseboard; currently they are simply plastered without any pictorial decoration.

The facade, oriented to the east, has lateral sashes that end above the curvilinear cornice in pillars with pine cone decorations. In the center stands the belfry, topped with cross and in its only hole houses a bell cast in 1883, that is, 50 years after the construction of the chapel. It was donated by the founder of the hermitage. The interior is small, with a single nave with an elongated and narrow rectangular floor plan, a checkered floor and a barrel vault with sashes. The decoration is sober and follows the neoclassical taste.
