Romanesque temple from the 11th century, even though it was mentioned since 1115, year when it was conceded by Xelmírez to the monastery of San Martón Pinario. We must highlight its paintings from the 16th century, most of them still preserved and famous for the size and proportionality of the figures and for reflecting the way the artisans of that period worked. The church is formed by a sole nave without a crossing, a prismatic apse and a lateral nave, with less height and built later on, where the sacristy is located. The façade preserves a Romanesque door with a double archivolt and a semicircular arch. Currently, there is a bell tower separated from the church’s body as the old one collapsed after it was hit by lightning. Near the cemetery there is a granite cross and a calvary from the 20th century.
