The facade consists of a portal with 2 blind arches and a Moorish influence, Romanesque carved capitals and niches for sculptures, now missing. It is listed as a historic monument. The village has existed since the Middle Ages and is on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. Picture by Manuel Cohen
