Hermitage that gives its name to the mid-September festivities, held on the 14th and 15th in honour of the Santísimo Cristo de la Salud. It preserves a large 18th-century carving, worked in ivory on an enormous elephant tusk following Philippine tradition, which was thrown into the fire during a period of religious persecution and could be recovered with only slight damage.
