History
Building in the form of a Latin cross, composed of a nave, a transept, a choir and a sanctuary which ends in the form of an apse. The bell tower was constructed in the 15th century over the transept. The vault of the nave is in hollow brick, in the form of a pointed arch. The transepts are vaulted on a rib vault. The interior walls of the sanctuary present 19th-century decoration, comprising fluted pilasters, surmounted by capitals and an entablature. The 12th-century apse, of polygonal plan, is supported by three buttresses of which the largest, placed on axis, is pierced with a lighting opening.
