It is a building in the form of a Latin cross, whose apse is adorned with seven arcades and a cornice established in the extension of the abacuses of the capitals of the triumphal arch. The building is vaulted with a cul-de-four vault and was formerly flanked by two absidioles. The bell tower, a massive rectangular tower, rises on a high sloped base.
