In the 13th century, construction of a fortified-type church, surrounded by walls, flanked by four defensive towers at the corners, opening by a portal surmounted by bartizans and a rose window (west). The fourth tower served as the base for the bell tower. In 1376, the church was devastated. The Renaissance-style portal was rebuilt in 1550. It is a building with a rectangular plan and a flat chevet.
