History
The church consists of three parts. The circular sanctuary (12th century), vaulted with a cul de four, with the crossing of the transepts supporting the bell tower vaulted in its lower part, with a dome on pendentifs. The nave of the early 12th century must have been covered with exposed roof structure. Finally, the north and south transepts are of recent construction.
