A small church built on a spectacular, steep location above the sea. Legend has it that it was built as a vow by a sailor who was in peril.

Chapel built in an impressive cliff-side, above the sea, and was also used as an ascetic retreat for monks of nearby monasteries. According to tradition it was built as a vow by a ship owner that faced danger at the harsh rocks on the day that the saint is celebrated (November 4).
