The eyes-catching facade features a huge narthex preceding the portals and a remarkable arcades pattern in Pisa-Romanesque style above the entrance. The aisles' clerestory windows are, instead, a Gothic masterpiece. Noteworthy is the tall campanile: it is decorated with various patterns of lights and is characterized by marble bands covering the bell cells' storeys. The belfry is surmounted by merlons.
