Architecture
This church was originally supposed to fit the type of the other churches of the Val de Boi Valley, but the construction schedule was not respected, and the architecture of the church changed a lot. The church has one nave, covered with a vault, with a semicircular apse in the east. The nave is divided into three sections. The choir is marked by the altar of the arch and is divided into three parts by successive protrusions, which reduce the size. It is lit by three narrow bays. In the north there is an impressive aisle with a semicircular apse, which doubles the main apse. On the outside, the main apse is decorated with arches and shoulder blades, while the aisle is bare.
