Church built on a primitive building destroyed by Almanzor, around the year one thousand, according to the Arab chronicles. The Romanesque reconstruction, which we now see, was carried out in stages. The oldest part, in Romanesque style, is made up of a rectangular apse with well-crafted capitals. Somewhat later, from the end of the 12th century, there is a beautiful main portal hidden by the pillars of a modern tower, with a lamb carved in the tympanum. The chapel of San Diego was added in the s. XVII and that of Carmen in the s. XVIII. On the north wall of the interior of the temple, the crowning of ogival baldachins from the s. XV, who were in the atrium of the church. They belong to the final years of the s. XV and perhaps represent the ships of Columbus and the shield of the Catholic Monarchs.

Worth seeing old church. Still in good condition and in the style typical of the country.
