History
This 12th-century building has the distinctive feature of possessing an apse flanked by two absidioles covered by stone domes, which is quite rare. The choir, by its sculptural decoration and its plan, is characteristic of a transitional architecture between Romanesque and Gothic. This church demonstrates strikingly what the rapid evolution of style at the beginning of the 12th century could bring, despite the traditional character of the building's plan.
