Baroque building of the 17th century, originally outside the village walls on a small rise. Hermitage with a simple rectangular plan, it has a nave of three sections with a barrel vault and side chapels between pilasters, where we find different devotions, that of Sant José in the main altar, Sant Rafael, the Virgin of the Despairs and the Cris de la Fe . The main facade, at the foot of the nave, has the form of an altarpiece, finished with a belfry and decorative details – balls and pinnacles – from the late Renaissance, with an undecorated arched door. Above a single unadorned arched door and above an eye-shaped window with molding. In addition we find a sundial between the eye and the sword and a series of inscriptions engraved in Pedro located parallel to the door. On the facade we can see different engravings with information about the dates of construction and renovation - 1607 and 1895 - as well as anagrams referring to innovations of the holders of the chapel - Ave Maria, José, Jesús - as well as a modern ceramic altarpiece from 1961, reminder of the miracle of the Corporals of Llutxent. It goes without saying that throughout the 20th century, changes and additions were made to the building, both internally and externally. At the end of the war, its reconstruction began which culminated towards the end of the 50s, highlighting the placement of a new carving of the Saint, the marble floor and plinth among others.
