Description
The interest of the visit is to focus on the altarpiece displayed above the main altar. It is composed of wooden sculptures, of excellent quality, dating from the 15th century. They represent in a very realistic way different scenes of the Passion. Above all, we will admire the very expressive busts of Christ surrounded by the twelve apostles. Also worth seeing is the stained glass window dedicated to Saint Anne and the Way of the Cross.
This building underwent major renovation work at the beginning of the 21st century, with the replacement of the slate roof. At the same time, a stained glass window was installed in the bull's-eye window, which had previously been bricked up, at the entrance to the church. This stained glass window depicts Saint Cecilia.
