Puerta de madera de doble hoja, muy sencilla y pintada en color marrón, cosida con remaches de hierro.

Iglesia con advocación al Apóstol Santiago, testimonio quizá del arraigo de la Orden de Santiago en este territorio, una organización militar y religiosa cuyo objetivo inicial era proteger a los peregrinos y hacer retroceder a los musulmanes de la Península Ibérica.

Situada en esta Aldea de 10 habitantes en el Camino Francés, esta iglesia del Siglo XIV, tiene un cementerio a todo alrededor de la iglesia con la particularidad de que las tumbas están mirando al exterior de la iglesia.

Dispone de un campanario de espadaña realizado en piedra con triple vano y dos cuerpos, con dos campanas en el cuerpo inferior.



A very simple double-leaf wooden door, painted brown, sewn with iron rivets.

A church dedicated to the Apostle Saint James, perhaps a testament to the deep roots of the Order of Santiago in this territory, a military and religious organization whose initial objective was to protect pilgrims and drive back the Muslims from the Iberian Peninsula.

Located in this village of 10 inhabitants on the French Way, this 14th-century church has a cemetery surrounding the church, with the unique feature that the tombs face the exterior of the church.

It has a stone bell tower with a triple opening and two sections, with two bells in the lower section.
