"El campanario , adosado al muro de mediodía, presenta dos cuerpos bien diferenciados. El primero es cuadrado y parece originario de la primera época de la iglesia aunque también podría ser anterior y formar parte de una torre de defensa o de vigía . El segundo cuerpo es de planta octogonal y consta de dos registros, un primer piso y separados por una moldura un segundo en el que se abren cuatro ventanas con arco de medio punto. Los muros presentan unos sillares bien escuadrados, sobre todo en el primer cuerpo y hace pensar que el segundo fue hecho con elementos reaprovechados en la reconstrucción de la iglesia en 1676. La ventana es rectangular; la piedra del dintel ofrece un trabajo dentro de las variantes del arco conopial-flamígero. El dintel reposa sobre sendas piedras también trabajadas a fin de dar más énfasis a la apertura del arco."

"The bell tower, attached to the south wall, has two well-differentiated bodies. The first is square and seems to originate from the first period of the church, although it could also be earlier and form part of a defense or watch tower. The second body It is octagonal in plan and consists of two registers, a first floor and separated by a molding a second in which four windows with a semicircular arch open. The walls have well-squared ashlars, especially in the first body and it makes you think. that the second was made with elements reused in the reconstruction of the church in 1676. The window is rectangular; the stone of the lintel offers a work within the variants of the ogee-flamboyant arch. The lintel rests on two stones also worked in order to give more emphasis to the opening of the arch."
