The church maintains several Romanesque elements even though its structure has been modified multiple times as the time passed. It preserves the original semicircular apse of the nave, the oldest part of the church. On the exterior part, it is divided by four pillars supported by capitals decorated with leaves with balls, except one that has a complicated interlaced design. The eaves’ brackets also have an interesting and varied ornamentation. In the central part there is a rose window with latticework carved in smooth round moulding with geometrical decorations. The rose window is flanked by two windows topped by semicircular arches also with latticework. Inside, the apse stands out. It opens up to the nave through a semicircular arch supported by two pillars with smooth shafts and capitals with vegetal decorations. Lastly, we must highlight the baptismal font. Its cup is decorated with alterning large concave and convex ornaments.
