History
Building of the 12th century comprising two oriented naves, each terminated by a semicircular apse. The older of these two naves is the southern one. Its apse is decorated with narrow flat buttresses bearing a cornice with arcatures of which only a vestige remains. The south nave is vaulted with ribs; that of the north in barrel vault. The upper parts of the walls have been reworked. A campanile largely modern rises on the west façade.
