The current church dates from the 10C and the facade bears witness to four centuries of construction; Gothic towers (late 13C), door (13C-14C) and stained-glass windows (14C), while the primitive nave dates from the late 12C. Inside don't miss the Romanesque arches, marble Virgin (1571) and the 16C painted panels adorning the arcades.
