It was originally built on the citadel that defended Motril in Muslim times, the residence of Queen Aixa Alhorra, mother of Boabdil. The construction of the temple began in 1631, by Isidro de la Chica, in a very austere proto-baroque style.
The building, with a Latin cross, consists of a single nave, a transept covered with a hemispherical dome, a raised main chapel and a dressing room highly decorated with baroque plasterwork.
