The Michelin Guide's review
The church boasts a fine Romanesque façade with two levels of arcades and arches. The central doorway has six archivolts. Its multifoil arch (decorated with horseshoe-shaped motifs), as well as the decorative sculpting of geometrical motifs, are of Mozarabic inspiration. To the left of this doorway, a sculpted frieze depicts figures performing the work associated with each month. Fine columns with sculpted capitals support the arcatures on the upper level.
