The Hermitage of San Roque is from the 16th century, in baroque style, ecclesiastical property. The façade has a bay with a semicircular arch, in the upper part it has a circular bay like a rose window, it is covered by gabled. In the Hermitage there is a Sacred Heart, a replica of a crucified Christ by Velázquez, a painting donated by a family from Lopera, another painting of the Souls of the Virgen del Carmen and an image of the Virgin of Beautiful Love.
During the civil war all the images of the hermitage were burned except for the image of the Virgin of Beautiful Love, which was only burned from the waist down, one arm and some of her face. This image was rescued by Adolfo Calvo Peralta, councilor of the City Council and took it to his home. His heirs decided that the image should return to its place of origin, Lopera. The image was still burned so it had to be restored.
