Located in the same rock of Mount Bernorio, in the highest part and to the left of the first houses of the town, carved on the rock, is this cave church with two naves. For centuries this hermitage served as a warehouse for farming tools and shelter for livestock.

Small hermitage excavated in a limestone rock, currently devoid of all kinds of cult objects, so it seems that it has not been used for a long time and with a metal fence that prevents people and animals from taking refuge in it.
After climbing the small promontory and peeking through its door and small window, you can see the naves inside and what may be the old baptistery, perfectly marked and differentiated from the rest of the rooms despite its very small size.
