Description

In the 19th century, a four-pillar belfry, ending in a pointed broach, was erected above the chapel adjoining the church in the south. From the standpoint of artistic decoration, it is remarkable for its tympanums which are enriched with cross reliefs and bunches of grapes. At present this belfry is preserved standing, although it is in a state of decrepitude.
