Actually, it is thought that the current building comes from the Arab period. In fact, some hypotheses suggest that it could have been a mosque, since in its northern part there is still a horseshoe arch with an alfiz. In Christian times, it is said that the hermitage was dedicated to Santa María de los Mártires because the Calatravos killed in the battle of Alarcos were buried in a nearby cemetery. However, in the 18th century it came under the current dedication.
