History
Building almost entirely from the 15th century, except for a column and some fragments of masonry from the 12th century preserved in the first two bays. The whole is a single nave of four bays terminated by a choir with five unequal faces, all covered with ribbed vaults. Five chapels from the same period are built between the buttresses. In the first bay, a portal is sheltered under a vast porch above which rises the bell tower.
