Description

The tower used as a belvedere was one of the city's fortifications. It has been modified to provide better access to the upper platform and has been equipped with jaw. The church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries, with changes to the 17th and 18th centuries. The porch is decorated with three deep gorges archivolts, accompanied by columns decorated with a strip of foliage. The door woodwork comes from the end of the 17th or early 18th century. Inside, the church consists of two naves: one date of the 14th century with crusaders of warheads, and the other of the 15th century, also with crusaders of warheads, to which are added liernes and tircerons. The 14th century apse is round, while that of the 15th century is in Pans. The choir is embellished with Louis XV style woodwork.
