The hermitage church is located less than two kilometers from the town of Rivisondoli, near the Cinquemiglia plateau.It was probably built in 1589 on a previous building of worship, initially built as a refuge for travelers and before that as a simple votive shrine. The last hermit to live in the building was Fra 'Nicola di Coccia, a peasant from Palena whose real name was Teodoro Di Biase.
Open from June to September; in the remaining periods contact the parish priest of the church of San Nicola di Bari.
