The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Edifice wisigothique à chevet plat et nef unique. L'appareil wisigothique est encore visible au sud dans les parties basses de la chapelle. A l'époque romane, l'obliquité des murs de la nef a été rectifiée au nord. Le porche d'entrée, en léger décrochement, est surmonté de petites arcatures. Au 19e siècle, l'édifice a été surélevé et agrandi vers l'ouest. La nef unique est voûtée en berceau. Cette chapelle wisigothique a conservé ses principales caractéristiques, malgré les transformations de l'époque romane et du 19e siècle.

Visigothic edifice with flat chevet and single nave. Visigothic ashlar is still visible to the south in the lower sections of the chapel. In the Romanesque period, the obliquity of the nave walls was corrected to the north. The entrance porch, in slight setback, is surmounted by small arcatures. In the 19th century, the edifice was raised in height and enlarged to the west. The single nave is vaulted with a barrel vault. This Visigothic chapel has retained its principal characteristics, despite the transformations of the Romanesque period and the 19th century.
