Art
Inside the building different artistic pieces are preserved, the main one being a large stucco image of Christ in Majesty, as well as a mural with frescoes depicting scenes from Calvary with Saint Longinus and Stephaton, accompanied by the half-hidden Sun and Moon, works from the 12th century.
There is also a retable dating from the 16th century of exceptional quality.
