It was originally built in 1600 although what we can see now is the result of 400 years of changes and renovations.
The hermitage has a single room decorated with several tile panels from the 17th century and features a rococo altarpiece. The facade, in neoclassical style, and is formed by a portal with a straight lintel, surrounded by two small windows, a large window above the portal, and a triangular pediment, which completes the facade. There is a modest belfry.
Unfortuinately it's seldom open to visitors.
