It consists of a single nave with a polygonal chancel and side chapels. From the 17th century is the old Alfolí de la Sal or Pòsit Vell.

The Old Cemetery, a popular neoclassical work, has been declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest by the Generalitat de Catalunya and is also worth a visit.
