Campanario de espadaña con una cruz coronando, dispone de un hueco con una campana.

"Según la tradición, la ermita se encuentra donde se apareció San José del Monte, dando nombre al pequeño oratorio que se construyó en dicho lugar.

Este hecho se conmemora en uno de los altares que lleva el nombre del santo. Posteriormente, a finales del siglo XVI (año 1557), ya en época santiaguista, la ermita pasó a estar dedicada a Santa Ana.

Situado en el barrio de La Coracha, el templo data de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. Más tarde, en 1840, fue añadida la portada, con dintel y apilastrado clasicista.

Consta de una nave y cubierta de bóveda de cañón rebajada con lunetos y arcos fajones. Recientemente se le añadieron dos capillas.

El conjunto escultórico de Santa Ana con la Virgen Niña, de escuela antequerana, data de 1780, cercano al estilo de Antonio Palomo. Preside el retablo mayor, blanco y dorado, tallado en madera. También se hallan en el mismo retablo las imágenes de San Joaquín y San Judas Tadeo.
Destacamos en el templo la Virgen de las Angustias, imagen de una Piedad con Cristo en su regazo, atribuida al antequerano Diego Márquez, y que hace su estación de Penitencia el Lunes Santo. Está fechada en el último tercio del siglo XVIII.

En la ermita, además de piezas como las anteriormente citadas, se conservan bienes muebles tales como el púlpito de forja, que data del siglo XVII".

Belfry bell tower with a cross crowning it, it has a hole with a bell.

"According to tradition, the hermitage is located where San José del Monte appeared, giving its name to the small oratory that was built in said place.

This event is commemorated in one of the altars that bears the name of the saint. Later, at the end of the 16th century (year 1557), already in the Santiago era, the hermitage became dedicated to Saint Anne.

Located in the La Coracha neighborhood, the temple dates back to the second half of the 18th century. Later, in 1840, the façade was added, with a classicist lintel and pilaster.

It consists of a nave and a lowered barrel vault roof with lunettes and transverse arches. Two chapels were recently added.

The sculpture of Santa Ana with the Virgin Girl, from the Antequera school, dates from 1780, close to the style of Antonio Palomo. It presides over the main altarpiece, white and gold, carved in wood. The images of San Joaquín and San Judas Tadeo are also found in the same altarpiece.
We highlight in the temple the Virgen de las Angustias, an image of a Pietà with Christ in her lap, attributed to Diego Márquez from Antequera, and which makes its Penitence season on Holy Monday. It is dated to the last third of the 18th century.

In the hermitage, in addition to pieces such as those mentioned above, movable assets are preserved such as the wrought iron pulpit, which dates back to the 17th century.
