This charming building is located in an elevated position with respect to the Villa Cetinale, and can be reached through a sacred path, called Scala Santa, a length of about 500 meters. The building was erected in 1716 at the behest of the Blessed Chigi to host the Cenobite monks, who were dedicated primarily to the treatment and care of the sick. The building has four floors with the main facade facing the villa is characterized by a central body on which there are two loggias. Above the loggia stands a large ankh two opposing arms of blocks of stone, where some remain visible heads of saints. You can also admire the beautiful well hermitage.
