History
Chapel composed of a nave covered with roof structure and roof tiling in tegula. The walls in dressed schist stone show an alternation of wide and thin ashlar courses. The western door has monolithic jambs and is surmounted by a wide rectangular lintel whose lower part is hollowed according to a round arch line simulating a tympanum. The pediment is adorned with an openwork cross. The eastern wall is surmounted by a small arcade bell turret, built later.
