The Romanesque church has three aisles. Each of the aisles is separated by an arcade supported by round brick pillars and ends in a semicircular apse . The church is covered with a stone gable roof with an open roof truss . The façade, made of hewn gray field stones, is completely undivided; apart from the arched portal , it is only opened through an arched window in the gable and two narrow windows at the height of the aisles. The simple side facades are completely closed apart from a few narrow window hatches. Only the three apses are distinguished by their decoration with semi -columns , serrated and stepped arched friezes made of colored pumice stone .
The south-eastern apse is adjoined by the six-story bell tower with arched windows on each floor.
The original of the Majestas Domini from the apse is now in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona . It is considered a Romanesque masterpiece and is attributed to the so-called Master of Tahull .
