History
Romanesque church consisting of a single nave with a decorated apse in cul-de-four. In the 15th century, two small chapels were added to form a kind of transept. At a more recent time, the same arrangement was repeated in duplicate. The western porch is underlined by a decorated band. The central window of the apse is covered with a monolithic lintel in the form of an arch.
