About the monument :
The south side wall is pierced by a Romanesque portal in the foreground, whose semicircular scrolls fall on elegantly proportioned columns under an archivolt of billets. Inside, a ribbed vault, whose ribs rest on consoles decorated with masks, covers the three bays of the nave
Traces of 15th-century frescoes have been discovered in test pits under the plasterwork on the north wall of the nave and a large Saint Christopher has appeared.
Mural paintings on the apse dating from the 19th century, represent the Coronation of the Virgin. At the entrance of the nave, a stone font was placed on a remarkable Romanesque capital illustrating the episode of Daniel in the lions’ den.
