Located in the center of the town, the parish church is oriented according to the traditional liturgical criterion and has a large square on the north side.
The façade, located to the west and preceded by a small portion of the churchyard, is divided into three sectors by four masonry pilaster strips resting on high bases.
The larger central sector houses the sandstone entrance portal surmounted by a broken gable and a semicircular window in the centre.
The two lateral sectors have niches containing the statues of S. Rocco and S. Remigio.
Internally the church has a nave divided into six bays of different widths. The first section of the nave, upon entering, has two open arched chapels on the sides; the first on the left is occupied by the baptismal font while the one on the right houses the statue of St. George on Horseback.
The second chapel on the left is occupied by a confessional while the one on the right, dedicated to St. Joseph, is equipped with a carved, painted and gilded wooden altar.
This is followed by the wider central section, covered by an elliptical cup, with three spans.
The presbytery, raised by three steps, has a rectangular plan, covered by a barrel vault and is completed in the choir with a semicircular plan, concluded by the apse basin connecting the vault.
The severe bell tower is made of Gaiano stone.
