Description:
A contrast of lines between the two levels of the front, which is convex at the entrance and concave in the upper part, characterizes this church. The adopted materials are different and the decorations are made easier by the tender local stone: the diamond-points take on round shape to become scales; the columns change into parastades and the window. The interior contains rich altars and 12 statues representing apostles.
