Info
Of its old pre-Romanesque construction, only the upper part of the head wall remains, made of ashlar, with medallions at the ends of its eaves and a gabled roof. It has a mullioned window with three openings formed by three semicircular brick arches on four small marble columns with Roman-style capitals, framed by an alfiz formed by a moulding.
Two stones with a hole in the centre protrude from each side of the upper part of the alfiz. They probably served as hinges for the doors that closed the window.
The church consists of three naves separated by square pillars supported by semicircular and pointed arches. The central nave is covered with a ribbed groin vault and the side naves are covered with a barrel vault with lunettes.
The lateral Gospel chapel, with a ribbed vault, dates from the end of the 16th century and the Epistle chapel from the 18th century.
Built in: 9th centuryMap
