History
The church was rebuilt in 1859. Externally, there remains a gable with hooked gable, a door with ogee moulding, hooks and foliage. On the left, touching the transept, a buttress has been preserved, at the summit of which stands a stone Virgin. In the interior, giving into the choir, there remains an altar piscina with escutcheon accompanied by what appears to be a crosier.
