It is located in O Adro, parish of San Salvador de Villozás. It is of a Romanesque - Ghotic style

It is a building with a rectangular floor and an only nave. Its walls are loaded and the roof has two slopes covered with a round brick. Internally , the space of the nave is delimited by a triumphal arch which gives was to a rectangular presbytery from which it is possible to go to the main part which works as a vestry of small proportions.

 

The lighting of the building which comes from two windows whichh open in the walls which correspond to the nave and the presbutery is few. This is a feature of Romanesque builings in which the idea was to aisle the believers from all that which colud distract their devotion and recollecion. Due to this, it is also important the interior moderation as far as decorative elements is concerned.

 
 
Inside

The building shows the same sobriety according to forms which can be found between its walls. According to this, most of the decoration is on the frontage. This shows a door made up of two archs DE MEDIO PUNTO on short columns. The capitals of the columns show a simple decoration, as it happens with the mochetas over which lies the plain tympanum. There is a small circular chole on the door which gives way after a break of the cornice, to a rectangular base which has a steeple of two holes which finish on pinnacles . This is an element which outstands on the whole building.
