The Parish Church of San José was inaugurated in 1926, in the so-called Church neighborhood. Its dedication to San José Obrero Obrero is defined because Tormos was destined to house the workers of the La Sotonera dam and their families.

It is mainly characterized by the separation between the temple and the bell tower, reminiscent of the Italian custom in the construction of this type of buildings. It consists of a single nave with three sections and a polygonal main chapel and its façade, completely whitewashed, is decorated with a gable.

It still stands today, presiding over with its beauty the remains of what was Tormos in its greatest moment of splendor.

The church of San José is the parish church of the Tormos neighborhood, a town belonging to the municipality of Alcalá de Gurrea, built to house the workers of the Sotonera dam and reservoir.

The church, inaugurated in 1926, has a rectangular plan and a polygonal head facing southwest. The free-standing bell tower is separate from the main building and is built of brick. Its construction does not correspond to a defined style, and mixes different styles, with the Romanesque predominating.
