Description

Originally, the church simply consisted of a nave which ended in a three -sided choir. The apse, the north wall and the portal date from the end of the 12th century and the latter was protected by a porch. At the beginning of the 15th century, the southern wall was distorted because of the pressure of the vault, probably in a semicircular cradle, which then collapsed and was replaced by the current vault. It was also during this period that a bell tower with two arcades was built on the facade. The two chapels which, in plan, form a cross, as well as the chapels of the nave, were also built in the 15th century. In the cemetery, there is a multicolored stone cross sheltered under an awning.
