[FR] L'ancienne église est bâtie sur un plan rectangulaire, terminé par un chevet plat. A l'ouest, un porche moderne a été ajouté devant le portail du XIIIe siècle. Il s'agit d'un exemple parfait et très rare d'une église franciscaine de la première moitié du 13ème siècle, présentant une architecture sobre et élégante et répondant à la recherche de simplicité et de pauvreté requise par la règle de Saint-François
