It has a very essential architecture, similar to the other medieval temples of Lake Como. Particularly enchanting the interior for the rare cycle of frescoes, covering a large part of the walls, the triumphal arch and the bottom of the presbytery.
These frescoes dating in the years between 1475 and 1485.
