The Herrerian-style temple, from the end of the 16th century, was built according to the plans of Felipe de la Cajiga. The interior is made up of a wide central nave and chapels between the buttresses, whose baroque vaults were decorated by Felipe Berrojo.

The local congregation has dedicated this church not to one of the (almost infinite) saints, but to "Santa Cruz" as its patron saint. Perhaps a brief stop for hikers or walkers is the appropriate time for a brief meditation and a prayer to God. I would therefore like to invite you to prayerfully contemplate God's infinite love for us humans, revealed in Christ nailed to the wood of the cross. Perhaps a quote from the Spanish order's founder, Ignatius of Loyola (1491 to 1556), may be helpful:
+ "Trust in God is most exalted precisely where human hopes sink most deeply.
For where all human help gives way, there it makes way for divine help."
