The façade of the church is divided in two parts of different height, both with horizontal coping adorned with brick arches. The left side has a magnificent stone portal with friezes and columns, called "the Holy Portal", dated to the early fourteenth-century and carved by crafters from Atri. Before the right side, the higher, there is a brick porch of ogival arches; surface of the façade has two round windows, one of which surrounded by a terracotta ring. The inside consists of a nave and two aisles with apses divided by pillars and round arcades. One of them is decorated with a cycle of frescoes representing the miraculous apparition.
