The Church in honor of the patron saint of Moral is located in the Plaza de España; It was built in 1475 from the existence of a watchtower from the Muslim period. It is a monumental sanctuary with different styles present, especially the Gothic inside and the Renaissance in the main door, called "Puerta de San Andrés". In addition to its religious value, tourists will be able to enjoy its pictorial value thanks to some of the paintings inside, such as the Cristobalón, a huge fresco dated at the end of the 15th century, or La Trinidad, attributed to Luis Tristán, who was disciple of El Greco.

The Church of San Andrés has a first phase of Roman origin. In ancient times it was possibly the house of the curia or granary to collect tributes. It has a single nave and due to the Gothic frescoes found, the temple itself must be from the 15th century. The portico is Renaissance from the 16th century and is very similar to that of the Church of San Blas de Almagro. Several paintings are preserved in the atrium: in the upper central part there is an interesting painting by Luis Tristan -a disciple of "el Greco"-, "La Trinidad", with a pyramidal composition. In the lower right, an 18th-century Saint Sebastian; in the center, the crucifixion of Saint Andrew (anonymous 18th century), a good copy of the "Martyrdom of Saint Andrew" by Rubens and Saint Blaise on the left, by an unknown author from the 18th century.
