It was completely restored in 2013 or 2014, which has allowed it to preserve its heritage value and functionality for the community. Although it is a modest-sized church, it stands out for its beauty and for being a spiritual and social meeting point for the neighborhood's residents.
It is a place where pilgrims can obtain the official Camino de Santiago stamp.
