Description
The church, which was mentioned in the 10th century, was a priory until the Revolution. We can still see elements of the 12th century, such as the section of the bell tower and the choir, which ends with an apse in the shape of a semicircle. The choir and the apse are covered with a cradle ceiling and an oven ass, adorned with large and small arcades forming three patterns, with an openwork bay in the center. The bell tower is based on an octagonal dome with deceptions, supported by four pillars, whose columns are crowned with large decorated capitals. The nave was rebuilt in 1845.
