We propose to begin the tour visitors from inside the church. There are remains of the Romanesque building, particularly in the lower part of the wall of the gospel, which is a small door on top and smaller stones. The present building, a ship only two sections, covered with vaults of terceletes (the foot was originally starred) and a flat top on which stands a polygonal tower spire topped. LLama attention to chamfer angles of the feet of the ship.
The front door has arch and richly decorated: (candelieri, caissons, cherubs, shields and garland) and is framed by columns supporting an entablature. Face it, the porch mimics Corinthian forms. In its frieze is Tellet Joan firm into two brackets next to a small bracket that catches the eye of the beholder. There is also the door of the chapel of St. John Lateran, and a staircase that links the porch to the patio. the corner of the church helps us understand the inner chamfer, as if he had not adopted the solution exterior buttresses occupy the site of this stairway.
The patio opens archery house and hospital. There we see how the structures of these buildings rely on the church and enjoyed the gazebo and its splendid view of Graus and the confluence of the rivers Ésera and Isábena. To theout, down the ramp, see the other corner of the church and again we understand the ship inside chamfer, as another external buttress would have prevented the access road to the set.
From the outside there are differences in the two sections of the church:
the first phase of work articulates its molded panels and has buttresses
the second, Tellet work, featuring panels and smooth corners.
In the whole hospital are also two phases:
a modest four-story building (supported on the church and the entrance to the cosets) was probably the first to be built and was to serve as clergy residence
an extension, much more ambitious, with three floors: the first, with the arcade arches, houses the access ramp and the second, with the viewpoint of twisted columns and the last, completely rebuilt brick and where were hospital rooms for pilgrims.
