The Canarian-style hermitage draws a rectangular plant 29 meters long and 9 meters wide. Keep in mind that part of the 29 meters long, specifically 9, belong to what is believed to have been the original hermitage, and currently houses the presbytery. This older part appears perfectly delimited from the rest of the construction by a wooden arch and a step leading to the main altar.The left side wall is smooth, without any gap and with a masonry bench attached to the wall of some 6 meters in length. On the right is another similar bank.

On the 10-meter façade, the framed access door is located between two pilasters topped by smooth capitals where the semicircular arch rests. On the right side is the other door of the same dimensions as the main one, preceded by five steps that after the construction of the buttresses and the elevation of the level of the square were two.

On the facade is located at its right end a sword that houses the bell tower consisting of two bells.

Apart from the extension that took place in the seventeenth century, a century after the rise of what is now the main chapel, the hermitage of Our Lady of the Rosary was intervened in the last century, specifically in 1965 , when buttresses that are visible from the outside were placed. On the other hand, the wooden roof covering the main chapel is the original, but that of the rest of the hermitage was replaced in the 1990s.

In what is known as the Brothers' Room, the floor in poor condition was replaced by a stone floor different from the rest of the hermitage and extracted from the Casa de los Mesa.
