The church was built on an old sanctuary-hermitage between the 12th and 13th centuries.
Its style is late baroque, with some neoclassical elements.
It has a Greek cross plan inscribed in a square.
Inside, there is the image of the miraculous Christ.
The exterior façade is built of brick, with noble parts in stone.
Four corner towers and a huge dome emerge above the building.
The rough and grotesque human figures in the corners represent the masses who sang and danced during the town festivals.
The main doorway, conceived as a gigantic altarpiece, faces the square.
The enclosure is covered by a large cased dome composed of a drum, half orange and lantern on a molded ring.

The church, built between the 1700s, is a great example of the Baroque style. It was built on the sanctuary of Santa Elena, where according to legend a miraculous Christ would have appeared. The central dome is more than 28 meters high inside, and the sharp arrow spire outside reaches 50 meters. It is considered an Asset of Cultural Interest.
