The western façade is decorated with a Romanesque porch with sculpted voussoirs. This façade is topped by a large gable pierced with two openings for two bells. Inside, the apse is vaulted with a semi-dome. Two capitals of the triumphal arch represent the Last Judgment and the Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence.
