    Its origins date back to the 5th or 6th century. During this time Menorca absorbed influences from Africa or the Orient. The basilica has the shape of a rectangle of 25 × 12 m and is oriented east-west. At the entrance there is a small vestibule, in which the not yet baptized believers gathered. The choir with semicircular apse is located in the central area. A special feature is the large cylindrical monolithic font with a hollowed out stoup in the shape of a cross. The baptismal font is in the northern section of the church, although it would have to be located at the entrance.
