History
Parish church which would have belonged to a convent of Camaldules, whose order was suppressed. This building is formed of a nave of four bays flanked, except for the first, by aisles, a transept, and a choir with a semi-circular apse. The aisles, added late 15th to early 16th century, have their bays vaulted with ribs. On the west façade opens an 18th-century portal, surmounted by a niche, and preceded by a flight of steps.
