ES: "La iglesia se acomoda en un abrigado rincón de fuerte desnivel. Es un buen ejemplo de la austeridad románica del rural en sus formas.
Cuenta con una sola nave con ábside rectangular. Tiene dos portadas muy similares entre si, en la fachada principal y en el muro sur; ambas con una única arquivolta y con una pareja de columnas como soporte y capiteles lisos, al igual que el tímpano.
En la fachada principal y en los dos laterales apreciamos cinco canecillos decorados con líneas geométricas simples, aún que parece distinguirse alguna figura humana de una forma muy abstracta.
Coronando el muro del presbiterio se levanta una hermosa y emblemática cruz calada. Además, contiene una inscripción cincelada en un perpiaño junto a la entrada del mediodía que data la iglesia en 1266."
EN: "The church is accommodated in a sheltered corner of steep slope. It is a good example of the Romanesque austerity of the rural in its forms. It has a single nave with a rectangular apse. It has two covers that are very similar to each other, on the main façade and on the south wall; both with a single archivolt and a pair of columns as support and smooth capitals, like the tympanum. On the main façade and on the two sides we can appreciate five corbels decorated with simple geometric lines, even though some human figure seems to be distinguished in a very abstract way. Crowning the wall of the presbytery stands a beautiful and emblematic openwork cross. In addition, it contains an inscription carved into a stonework next to the midday entrance that dates the church to 1266."
