The first houses, in the centre, the entrance portal surmounted by an architrave and a crowning, in the second there are two stone windows, positioned one below the other, next to the portal.

The slender bell tower, with a square plan, rises on the south side of the church, and consists of a cusp with an irregular octagonal base, a cornice and four round arched openings. Its interior, decorated with relief surfaces and wall paintings, consists of a single nave surrounded by side chapels and a rectangular presbytery, concluded by an apse.
