History
Of Latin-cross plan, the chapel is formed of a nave and an ensemble formed by the transept and the apse. The western façade is pierced by a round-arched door. To the south, a round-arched window of 18th-century appearance. The apse and transept were rebuilt in the 19th century, but retain windows from an ancient construction. The ossuary, which was built against the north wall of the nave, is completely ruined. Near the chapel, a fountain with a triangular gable, a Roman military milestone and a cross dated 1743.
