Exterior
Well built from polished stone set with egg mortar, the church’s exterior walls show the interior cross form, jutting equally out from the large 12-facet drum with the lower corners filling out the square base. The exterior walls include niche buttresses at the ends of each cross wing, with windows on the upper level.
