History
Building of the 12th century, transformed from the 13th to the 15th century. Inside, the bay under the bell tower, sole intact witness of the 12th century, comprises large pillars with strong columns surmounted by significant capitals which support, above the arches, a dome of a particular aspect. Oblong, it is divided into ten bays, of which four in chamfered corners on squinches, by large ribs. Towards the entrance, the vault of the nave is carried by pillars with columns and small columns of the 13th century.
