Description

12th century Romanesque church located near the cemetery. The nave is covered with a very acute cradle vault, flanked by two posterior style chapels forming a transept, also vaulted in cradle. A granite gate, with molded archivolt and capitals, opens to the south. The door has kept a few fittings. The apse is decorated with arcatures. A Campanile, pierced with three arcatures, stands on the gable of the west facade. The apse houses 13th century murals, spread over two levels, representing the Last Supper above a headband decorated with geometric patterns and a series of arcades surrounding figures that could symbolize the twelve months of the year. The fresco was made with soggy, using red and black shades on a gray background.
