The façade is concluded from the tympanum with a triangular form. In opposition to the linearity of the façade, the structure acquires a certain movement for the advanced position of the two domes on the right and on the left in comparison to the central big dome. The plant is concluded from the bell tower, built in following epoch, but in line with the whole plant from a stylistic point of view. The inside of the church have a central plant developed horizontally, the wooden ceiling have trusses that lean on pilaster strips. The altar with late Baroque style of Genovese school, commissioned by the vicar Sisinnio Piredda in 1775, is delimited by a baluster of the XIX sec. made of polychrome marbles.
