The western façade opens by a portal with jambs flanked by colonnettes with sculpted capitals. The building is covered with a 16th-century timber ceiling with exposed tie-beams. In the interior, the two walls of the nave are occupied by the monumental representation of apostles, dating from the early 16th century. The apse is also decorated with paintings.
