Church with a basilical floor plan, with one nave and two apses forming a Latin cross. It has a triumphal arch supported by quadrangular half-pillars practically integrated with the walls. The door leading to the sacristy is located in the raised chancel. The church’s bell tower has three bodies and it was last rebuilt in the 18th century. Since we do not have documental evidence, the testimony of the neighbours born in the first decades of the 20th century is our source of information to try to date its construction. They remember the shape of the sarcophaguses found when the cemetery was remodelled. Those pieces would date the building of this Romanesque church in the 15th or 16th centuries. The main nave and the apses are covered by a barrel vault.
