Description

Built at the beginning of the 12th century, the church was preserved in its original state, without further addition. Its layout includes a nave with two spans flanked by narrow aisles, pillars surrounded by columns, an ogival cradle vault in the nave and semicircular on the aisles. The bell tower section is surmounted by an octagonal dome based on deceptions, with a small bay opening in the dome, as well as a sanctuary and a choir. The southern side door is surrounded by an archivolt decorated with small cubic niches. The bell tower, with a median cornice with baskets, has four semicircular bays without archivolt or columns. The cord of the apse has an alternation of trash decorated with small arcatures or mascarons. The interior of the church is decorated with a painted funeral liter.
