The current building consists of a single nave with a transept, a polygonal apse with chapels on the sides. The bell tower is octagonal at the top, as it begins with a square floor plan. The façade is formed by a rose window with stained glass windows, surrounded by two towers on the sides, square in plan, with elongated windows, as in the bell tower.
