This church was built during the first third of the 19th century. It has a Latin cross floor plan, with a single nave and a choir at the foot. A series of Ionic pilasters run along the nave, creating intermediate spaces with blind arches. The transept section is covered with a half-orange vault on pendentives, with a quarter sphere vault in the Main Chapel. On the outside, it has a very slender and symmetrical main façade at the base, where the tower stands out, which is located on the axis of the façade, and which includes decorative elements and a layout very similar to that of the parish churches of Ohanes and Canjáyar. Both the main façade and the side façades have straight lines and lintels.
