The church was erected in an anachronistic gothic style in the 16th century. The ceiling has complex tracery. The main portal, of Renaissance style, has been attributed to Jerónimo Quijano, or Andrés de Vandelvira. The former main retablo (1648) was completed in Plateresque style, attributed to Juan Sánchez Cordobés. It was almost completely destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.[1]
