Hermitage of Christ in Agony
A hermitage from the 18th century located on the outskirts of the village. It is quite small and has a single nave covered by a half-barrel vault and altarpiece surrounded by tornapuntas, two access doors to the sacristy and the chapel, which is behind the main section.
The front is very simple in its design, although it uses a wealth of curves. It is laid out in a curved form starting out at the lower section of the facade and it opens out into a half-round arch that is topped off by a vaulted niche. It climbs higher in the form of three more vaulted niches on a horizontal cornice, with blind sides, and it drops down in the middle to make way for a simple bell tower, which curves the opposite way to the wall it comes out of. It has a small stone with the following inscription on it; "This chapel was built on commission of Brother Vicente de Burgos in 1783”
