Church of austere lines where it is obvious morphological hybridity, of Reign of D. Maria I.

Within a type, widespread in the regional architecture, it is evident the baroque style, the lintels and trim curves polylobated of the openings, framed in a more rigid overall composition and remarkable accuracy in the design of the gable.
