Two arms of transept vaulted with pointed barrel vault brace the crossing of the transept covered by a dome on squinch and surmounted by an octagonal bell tower whose upper storey is modern. Two chapels were added on either side of the nave. One of them, vaulted with rib vault, goes back to the 16th century. The other is modern. Cornices with modillions crown the exterior walls.
