History

Certain parts of the church appear to date from the 11th century. The church was a vessel, almost square, with three naves, without transepts, terminated by three apses. The main apse is the only one preserved. It was preceded by a bay of choir vaulted with a round arch barrel vault and decorated with an extradossed arcade of five arcades on columns. The bell tower, of hexagonal form, rises at the extremity of the main apse. The ground floor, attached almost to the enclosure wall, is built of large blocks. The flat buttresses are united at their summit by arcatures of four corbelled arches. Above rises the hexagonal brick tower of the late 14th century or 15th century.
