In this church, the images it houses stand out above all, the most important being the Nazareth Jesus, carved in Seville in 1609 by Tomás de la Huerta and San Judas Tadeo of great devotion in the city.

This church is dedicated to James the Elder (Santiago), who is probably (besides Peter and Paul) the most prominent apostle and national saint of Spain. The European network of Ways of Saint James, usually marked by the symbol of the yellow shell on a blue background, leads pilgrims to his tomb. This is in the Galician 'Santiago de Compostella', where he rests in a magnificent basilica built in his honor.

The martyrdom (execution) of James is handed down by the evangelist Luke in the New Testament "Acts of the Apostles". The feast day of Saint James in the calendar of saints is July 25th.

On the outside, its Gothic façades with archivolts and framed by alfiz stand out.

The interior shows a single nave covered with cross vaults and a large choir at the foot. We must highlight the magnificent main altarpiece, commissioned in 1557 from master Alonso de Berruguete, one of the main Spanish Mannerist sculptors; It was completed by his workshop and permanently installed in 1570.
