Religious Architecture
The simple construction comprising the Parish Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is marked by a façade with a square central body flanked by two towers capped by pyramidal spires. A cornice joins the three parts, curving slightly in the centre around the elliptical oculus. At ground level the entrance is flanked by two windows, all with round-arched lintels.
