Of existence already referenced from 1105, this church was completely remodeled in the 13th century, on the initiative of d. Mafalda, daughter of Sancho I, acquiring Romanesque moth. In 1668 proceeded to the original ship's demolition to make way for another broader and therefore the only Romanesque elements remaining today are the headboard and the respective transept. Abroad, the frieze of geometric motifs recalls the decoration of the Visigothic, Mozarabic and times while in interior decoration shows the Baroque style. Beside the Bell Tower added in 1820, is a sarcophagus. It was declared a national monument in September 29, 1977.
