The monument is composed by a square-shaped body topped by pinnacles.
The chapel, in honour of Saint Eulalia, was reformed in 1952 and finally in 1992 when they added a small cover to the entrance door. This small chapel was built on the plain area that previously may have been occupied by the parade square of a medieval fortress. This is the reason why the chapel is decorated with elements more used in castles than in hermitages, like gargoyles or the upper battlements. The chapel is crowned by a big stone image of the Sacred Heart almost full size. Inside there is a wooden Neo-Gothic altarpiece representing once again the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Aside from the chapel, we must highlight the Via Crucis that leads to it. It was proposed by the parish priest Antonio Martínez Peso in 1880. It is composed by fourteen stations and its crosses are all built in the same way with pedestals placed over a flat stone and finished with mouldings.
