History
Romanesque church with a circular choir, having undergone restoration. The collapsed vault was replaced by a wooden ceiling. Decapitated round columns rise in the nave, marking a project for an aisle built during the restoration. The rectangular wall bell tower is pierced by a broken arch porch with four moulded archivolts. Four openings accommodate the bells.
