History

Church built in the 12th century, fortified for a time. Rectangular plan with a single nave and semi-circular apse. Nave of three bays whose north and south walls are decorated with arcatures. The crossing and apse are narrower. The dome is on pendentives. The apse is vaulted with a cul-de-four vault. On the north side, a chapel added in the 15th century. Vestiges of mural paintings representing flowers. The western façade is largely remade. The square bell tower, above the crossing, is adorned with a large pointed arch at the lower part. The intermediate storey is decorated with four round-arch arcades. The upper storey is open, on each face, with two large round-arch openings in which are placed two twin windows on small columns with carved capitals.
