Description
Rectangular plan, finished with a semi-circular apse. The interior was partially reshaped. In the choir, north and south, there are large semicircular arches which may have served as niches. The vault is in cradle and the apse is in oven ass. The nave has a plaster ceiling. On the south side, under the bell tower, there is a chapel dating from the 13th or 14th century with ribs. On the front, the portal probably presented several archivolts. On each side of the door, there are three Romanesque columns with capitals decorated with human and animal figures. The bell tower, located in the south, is square and massive, with three -bodied openings, devoid of ornamentation.
