History
Rectangular building of the 16th century, unfinished in its original plan, to which was added later an appendix separated from the old construction by a diaphragm arch. The first part was completed in 1548. Three window divisions of the choir comprise two, three and four lights. The tympanum is filled with large reliefs. Lateral door with basket arch. Above the main door and the oculus, a small bell turret formed by a four-sided pyramid surrounded by pediments, dominates the front nave.
