This Templar church was built on the site of a pre-Christian necropolis. Of Romanesque foundation, it is composed of a short nave, a transept and three semicircular apses. The capitals and interior columns are decorated with foliage or historical scenes. In the middle of the large apse, there is a watchtower decorated with loopholes whose consoles are made of tombstones. The sanctuary is illuminated by three flared windows on the inside and narrow windows on the outside. The church is surmounted by a gabled bell tower pierced by four bays for the bells. Curious paintings cover the vault of the southern apsidiolus and are dated differently according to experts.
