Dating back to the 19th century, this chapel is an example of the region's traditional religious architecture. Following recent interventions, its tower was restored, recovering its original design and once again displaying a belfry, a distinctive element that enhances its profile. The churchyard and surrounding walls were also redeveloped, creating a harmonious and inviting ensemble.

The site, with its breathtaking landscape, provides an atmosphere of tranquility and reflection. It is a place of great significance for the community, serving as a focal point of unity and guardian of the village's collective memory.
