The church is already mentioned in the 12th century, although it was rebuilt at the end of the 14th century at the request of the Lord of Orgaz, who added the current Christian bell tower to the old Muslim minaret. The tower is one of the best exponents of Toledo Mudejar, with glazed ceramics and inlaid with a Visigothic niche and a kicked cross.

In the church's Mudejar tower, among the brick and glazed ceramic decorations, a Visigothic niche and a patté cross (or cross pattée) embedded in the wall are preserved. This cross is an ancient ornamental element, possibly reused from earlier constructions, and is considered a Christian symbol incorporated during the 14th-century reconstruction.

If you wander through its winding streets, you'll discover some ancient walls with crosses nailed under a small roof. This detail is often found in churches and convents to mark the main altar. Its main purpose was to instill special respect in passersby as they passed through these places.
