Description
The church has a rectangular shape and is preceded, on the facade overlooking the road, by a covered porch. It has a slender lighthouse with a triangular pediment and three rows of arcades. The base of this bell tower is hidden by a porch that has been walled. The entrance to the church is in a semicircular arc, supported by two small columns which carry the ribs. The capitals have floral patterns and bands decorated with geometric drawings. Chimera with inclined heads are present at the base of the arc. The porch adjacent to the side facade is accessible by four steps and surrounded by a wooden balustrade, formerly used as a grid for the communion table, but now placed outside.
