Rectangular in shape with a small porch, it dates f back to the 18th century. It is representative of the sacralization of rural areas promoted by Counter-Reformation religiosity and of processional rites for propitiatory and penitential purposes having as their destinations churches outside the city walls.

The devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel was accentuated in the Kingdom of Naples after Masaniello's revolution (1647-1648), whose episodes of the most acute tension, had as their epicenter the church and piazza del Carmine in Naples. Our Lady was therefore recognized as the propitiator and guardian of social peace and the one who could undermine class conflicts.

In the fresco preserved here, dated 1724, work of Mormannese artist Angelo Galtieri, the named after Madonna is represented between St. Francis of Paola and St. Simon Stock, protector of the Carmelite Order.
