Three caves cut into the rock. The main front, carved in a bank, carries a long blind arcade of classic horseshoe arches, and inside opens a chapel of three aisles with barrel vaults on square piers, a fret running along the springing of the transverse arches. The other two caves, smaller and also vaulted, may have been baptistery and refectory.
