History
Church comprising a Romanesque choir vaulted with a half-barrel vault which ends, beneath the triumphal arch, with two engaged columns topped by a capital with geometric decoration. The arms of the transept, Gothic, were heavily restored in the 19th century, as was the nave. The south portal is framed by decoration of the 16th century, protected by a lean-to porch supported by a pillar decorated with a coat of arms and at the back of which opens a basket-handled door.
