Chapel located at 730 m elevation on a hill in the valley of Albaida, north of Bocairent, villa to which he belongs. The chapel built in 1537, consists of three buildings: The hotel, which had been a women pious old house where they lived in community from 1541, retired in 1622; the priest's house in the middle; and the Gothic church with the bell tower attached. The façade features a sundial drawn and a stone Pantocrator. The image of Christ inside was carved by Joan de Salas in the same year the building was constructed.
The sanctuary is a meeting point for festivities as the commemoration of the Camorra's Battle, the feast of Cholera, the "Tres Llums" fiest and a pilgrimage in the context of the Moors and Christians celebrations.
