Of Romanesque style, the church of St Paul was reconstructed in the 11th and 12th centuries on the same site as the former church. Later, it was dedicated to St Anne, patron saint of seamen and the island.

Between the 17th and 19th centuries this part of the island went through severe sandstorms. In 1860 the removal of the sand caused the collapse of the roof and of the nave’s pillars.

The chapel’s ruins were consolidated and classified as a historic monument in 1980.

Every year, on the last weekend of July, the “Pardon” of St Anne is celebrated. On the Saturday evening, a procession leaves the church and goes to the chapel where, after prayers, a traditional bonfire is made.

On the Sunday morning, the parishioners form a procession and walk to the chapel where a mass is celebrated outside.
