The building, in rural Romanesque style, has a quadrangular facade with a small compartment for the bell carved out of an upper corner. The entrance is surmounted by a small circular window. The door lintel bears an inscription dated 1675, the year the town invoked the Saint's help to overcome the plague. Another inscription, inside a coat of arms above the entrance, contains the date and names of the three citizens of Scanno who promoted the 1780 restoration.[2]

The interior of the single-nave church holds a simple altar with side niches surrounded by cornices and, near the entrance, two stoups depicting masks with faces of fantastic animals. On the altar is a fresco of the saint. The floor is made of simple bricks.[2]
