This chapel is found on the road leading to
Ghaxaq. Built in 1535, this chapel was much sought after during the 16th and
17th centuries, especially for pilgrimages. The building edured several
interventions from 1634 onwards. During the middle of the 18th century a
sacristy was built on the side. The building consists of a single room with a
single door and a belfry, typical of the wayside chapels found in the countryside. Internally the
chapel has several internal arches supporting
a double pitched roof of stone slabs covered in deffun. Restoration on the
chapel was done by the Restoration Directorate under the Local Council
Restoration Scheme 2016. Four workers
from the Restoration Directorate restored all the facades as well as the roof
and the parvis, following the necessary documentation. Restoration works
consisted mainly of cleaning and consolidation of stone slabs and removal of
cement plastering. The gutter which goes round the chapel to direct rain water
seeping from the soil was also repaired.
