History
The building presents a single nave leading to a semi-circular apse buttressed by four buttresses. The nave is covered with a barrel vault of industrial bricks. The cul-de-four of the apse has probably retained its Romanesque vault. It is covered with neo-Gothic painted decoration in trompe-l'oeil. The church has preserved a Pietà painted in 1709, a Crucifixion of Christ datable to the 19th century, a sculpted lintel from the end of the Gothic period as well as a Romanesque capital.
