History
Church of Romanesque period with transept forming a Latin cross and a barrel-vaulted absidiole on each arm of the transept. The octagonal bell tower, vaulted with a dome, is placed at the crossing of the transept and the nave. The transept formerly had only a floor which gave way to a brick vault during the 19th century restorations. The entrance door, from the 15th century, underwent major modifications.
