History
Near the chapel, two military boundary markers from the Roman period, one of which measures three metres and the other, truncated, serves as a holy water stoup at the door of the chapel. The calvary bears the date of 1743. The shaft rests on an altar base. On the reverse is seen the cross of Christ; on the obverse the Virgin.
