| Description | |||||||||
|
Classified as a Historic-Artistic Monument (1923). Its origins are believed to date back to the 6th century. Three original chapels in the rock, joined together with uniquely decorated entrance arches (adjoining columns and capitals sculpted into the rock itself); it still has the original altars, erected like tables. The bell tower sculpted over a rocky outcrop (15th century) stands close to the interesting series of anthropomorphic tombs. As a prolongation of the chapels, a 13th-century Romanesque church, covered with a provisional roof. Construction destroyed by fires (17th and 20th century) and partially restored.
