History

Church of the 12th century, opening by a round arch door with three archvolts resting on sculpted capitals which have lost their columns. The door was narrowed by two jambs and an archvolte with prismatic mouldings of the 15th or 16th century. The angles of the façade are each buttressed by a group of three large engaged columns, surmounted from the first entablature by five smaller columns bearing capitals adorned with vegetative decoration. Above the first entablature, a row of seven pointed openings, whose columns have disappeared. Pediment with two slopes of the 17th century. The church, formerly probably entirely vaulted, was burned and partly destroyed. The square bell tower is placed along the north wall. It is decorated, between the first and second entablature, on the west and north faces, with three arcatures. Above the second entablature, it takes octagonal form supported by a sloped base. The upper part was remade in the 17th century.
