History
Rural sanctuary composed of a single nave and an apse with a semi-domed roof. With the exception of the entrance portal (15th century) and the comb bell tower (18th or 19th century), it has preserved intact its original arrangement. Certain parts may be earlier than the 12th century. Interior painted decoration, with a tetramorph appearing to be of Romanesque period distinguishing itself in the semi-domed roof of the apse.
