Campanario de espadaña de estilo barroco con un hueco y una sóla campana.

"Su origen es muy antiguo, pero su aspecto actual data del siglo XVIII.

Lo cierto es que es muy querido por los bonariegos, pues en él se encuentra la Patrona de esta localidad del Condado: Santa María Salomé.

Bonares se divisa, desde la ermita, en todo su esplendor. Su situación privilegiada, en lo alto del pueblo, y los jardines agradables que la rodean hacen que sea un lugar muy agradable para tomar pasear.

El templo en sí tiene una sola nave rectangular con zócalos típicos de la zona y una bóveda decorada con preciosos frescos.

De extraordinaria belleza es el camarín de Santa María Salomé, decorado con murales y vidrieras.

Curioso en este tipo de construcción religioso es el pórtico cuadrangular con una espadaña de estilo barroco.

La casa del ermitaño está adosada al edificio y en ella vivía la persona encargada de cuidar de la ermita.

Todos los meses de octubre, cuando tradicionalmente acababa la vendimia, tienen lugar las fiestas patronales. Es entonces cuando los “quintos” (son los adolescentes, cumplen la mayoría de edad, eran quienes antiguamente realizaban el servicio militar), hacen la “bajada” de la Santa, llevándola en hombros hasta la parroquia de la localidad."

Baroque style belfry bell tower with a hole and a single bell.

"Its origin is very ancient, but its current appearance dates back to the 18th century.

The truth is that it is very loved by the people of Buenos Aires, since the Patroness of this town in the County is located there: Santa María Salomé.

Bonares can be seen, from the hermitage, in all its splendor. Its privileged location, at the top of the town, and the pleasant gardens that surround it make it a very pleasant place to take a walk.

The temple itself has a single rectangular nave with typical plinths of the area and a vault decorated with beautiful frescoes.

Of extraordinary beauty is the chapel of Santa María Salomé, decorated with murals and stained glass windows.

Curious in this type of religious construction is the quadrangular portico with a baroque style belfry.

The hermit's house is attached to the building and the person in charge of taking care of the hermitage lived there.

Every October, when the harvest traditionally ended, the patron saint festivities take place. It is then when the "fifths" (they are teenagers, they are of legal age, they were those who previously performed military service), make the "descent" of the Saint, carrying her on their shoulders to the local parish."
