The Church shows a very simply facade on which a window opens. On its left side rises a quadrangualr belfry. The interior has three aisles and it is finely decorated in Gothic style. On the right it is possible to admire a galzed earth-made statue coming from the Della Robbia's workshop portraying the "Annunciation" and an wooden "Our Lady of Cemetery" made by Francesco Valdambrino (1363-1435).
