On the outside of the church there is a portico with a semicircular arches supported by pillars of good thickness and a lintel roof, from the central part of which a square section bell tower starts. It has an operational hood with two bells

"The Parish Church of Santa Eulalia, in Luarca, has a medieval origin. There is documentary evidence of its existence dating from the first half of the 12th century. Nothing remains of the primitive construction, as it was completely destroyed to build the current temple between 1873 and 1879.

It has a rectangular floor plan. Inside, it houses three naves -the central one wider than the lateral ones-, which are covered with groin vaults, as is the apse. In the transept, the central nave culminates in a dome on pendentives that does not stand out on the deck, although the lantern does so. There is a rostrum at its feet."
