The church is in Pisan Romanesque Stile and exhibits a facade divided into three storeys. The upper two are loggias covered with marbles and decorated with a Tuscan bands motif. The first floor has no decors but a noteworthy portal topped by a moulded architrave and a single archivolt lunette. Remarkable is the crenelled bell tower featuring a windows pattern based on an ever-increasing number of lights at each storey.
