Description

The chapel has long been used as a village church. In the past, the village was just at its feet. The building has a unique rectangular nave which ends with a narrower apse with a semicircular bedside. The axis of the apse is not perfectly aligned with that of the nave. The apse is accessible by a large semicircular arc supported by columns decorated with capitals carved with plant patterns.
