Built in the second half of the 11th century. It has a rectangular-shaped nave. There are crosses and arrow slits carved on all the walls, except the North one. There we can see a door with a lintel and a large archivolt. The jambs are decorated with small semi-spheres and two heads with fangs. They support a semi-circular lintel decorated with two iridescent flowers, one on each side of an almost quadrangular entangled design. The upper archivolt is decorated with a chequered design. Over the portal, and under a mechanical clock, there is a marble cross with an inscription in Latin: “Year 1900 – Jesus Christ – God Man Lives Reigns Prevails” On the outside, we must highlight the eaves’ brackets and a gargoyle located on the north side of the roof. Both the building’s walls and the circling walls are engraved. Close to the East entry there is a fountain and on the circling wall there is a stone sculpture that comes from the old Chapel of Santa Isabel de Penadauga.
