Description
The church has a nave which ends with an apse in the shape of a pentagon, with a linked vault and tiercers. On the nave, there are chapels covered with a vault in the cross of warheads. The most remarkable part of the church is its facade, which has a portal framed by eight columns. The archivolt is made up of five toric areas. The gable bell tower is decorated, on the first floor, with a gallery supported by semicircular arcades imitating jaw. Above, two mitre-shaped windows rise, with a diamond oculus located between them. The angles of the windows are decorated with two half-losanges. On the second floor, a gallery is also supported by arcades. There are still two miter windows, between which is a peak wall which forms another similar window. The facade is framed by two turrets, one of which houses the staircase.
