Description:
You enter the church through two doors to the left of which is surmounted by the bezel. To the left of the entrance opens a room with skylights and niches for remains of a seat that was intended as a hermit's dwelling. The structure consists of a classroom with a rectangular niches and arches on the walls and chancel terminating in a semicircular apse. The structural arrangement of the crypt is archaic for many elements, is given so supposing that the hall has been excavated earlier than the apse during a first phase of excavation between the tenth and eleventh centuries. The chancel of the church is structured according to forms and elements instead of less ancient times as the vault, so we can trace its realization to the twelfth century.
