This church was built around 1530 on the site of a 14th-century church, which itself had taken the place of a large Moorish mosque. The main façade, by Don Alonso de Baena, is a perfect example of the Plateresque style. The church, which is accessed via the neoclassical right-hand side façade, has the plan of a basilica with three naves separated by sturdy columns supporting star vaults. On the high altar is a 17th-century altarpiece (Assumption of the Virgin) by Jerónimo Hernández and Juan Bautista Vázquez. Behind the high altar is the octagonal apse of the former Mudejar church. The frescoes (The Coronation of the Virgin) that once adorned the high altar were transferred to the wall to the left of the altar in the 1960s.
