Located in the Khattibuale district and built between 1775 and 1795, the church is dedicated to St. Vincent Ferrer, celebrated on April 5th. Its architecture exemplifies a classic rural Pantelleria church: a single nave ending with a small apse, constructed with local lava stone masonry, featuring a barrel-vaulted ceiling and a gabled roof. The structure consists of continuous load-bearing masonry with squared corners and irregular sections elsewhere. The vault's extrados is waterproofed with a mixture of volcanic lapilli (locally known as tuffu) and lime, laid over a compacted earth layer and compressed using wooden mallets. Inside, the floor is made of glazed terracotta tiles, and above the altar, there's a large painting depicting the saint with Our Lady of Sorrows and the Deposition of Christ, created by santàri—artists specializing in religious iconography. From the apse, an archway and a few steps lead to a small side sacristy.
