About

At the end of 14th century, the three-aisled Gothic basilica with west tower dedicated to Saint John was built on a hill in the centre of the village. The choir display chamfered and pear-shaped ribs that rest on engaged pillars with capitals. The sacrament alcove, keystones, a richly decorated sedile and traceried windows represent the valuable architectural sculpture. An oval enclosing wall surrounds the church. In the south stands a gate tower with portcullis grooves, next to it a chapel whose choir is placed before the curtain wall.
