Description
This small 11th century church is typical of churches in the region. Inside, it has a nave covered with a broken cradle, with a west part which seems to date from a different era. The apse is semi-circular and vaulted in a cul-de-four, containing two absidiles integrated into the thickness of the walls. The south arm of the transept serves as a chapel, while the northern arm, larger, seems to have been added later. Outside, the apse is decorated with lombard bands and arcatures. The church is flanked by a large square bell tower, surmounted by a Campanile in Arcades. This consists of a united base, at the bottom, and two floors with bands and arcatures.
