The Parish of Our Lady of the Incarnation is one of Olvera's most iconic monuments, both for its imposing architecture and its historical and religious significance.
It was commissioned by the Dukes of Osuna at the end of the 18th century and completed in 1843.
It was built on the remains of an old Moorish mosque and a Gothic-Mudejar church, the apse of which is still preserved in the baptismal chapel.
It has undergone several restorations, the most recent between 1994 and 1999, and again in 2010 after a fire damaged a processional image.

The Iglesia Parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación in Olvera is the town's most striking church building and, together with the neighboring Moorish castle, dominates the town's panorama. It towers high above the historic Barrio de la Villa district and is visible from afar.
The church was built in 1822 in the neoclassical style on the foundations of an earlier Renaissance church. This, in turn, stood on the site of a former Muslim mosque, as was common in many Andalusian towns. Construction dragged on for decades and was not completed until the end of the 19th century.

The church is characterized by its monumental façade, flanked by two large towers. The building's style was inspired by the great cathedrals of Spain – unusually imposing for a town the size of Olvera.
