It was originally built on the citadel that defended Motril in Muslim times, the residence of Queen Aixa Alhorra, mother of Boabdil. The construction of the temple began in 1631, by Isidro de la Chica, in a very austere proto-baroque style.
The building, with a Latin cross, consists of a single nave, a transept covered with a hemispherical dome, a raised main chapel and a dressing room highly decorated with baroque plasterwork.

It is located next to the Parque de los Pueblos de América (Park of the Peoples of America).
It is one of the city's main green spaces. This park originated as a link to the American continent, a fact reflected in its flora. As you stroll through the park, you can appreciate a wide variety of tree, shrub, and palm species, all from different parts of the Americas.
