The church is located next to the Socovos Castle. It is on one floor and its ceiling has a wooden coffered ceiling of great merit. Above the main door, there is a large window. Above this, under a pediment with the anagram of Jesus Christ, the Cross of the Order of Santiago is carved, along with two pilgrim shells and the date 1590. In the past, the church had an organ similar to that of the Church of Liétor, but unfortunately it was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.

Socovos Castle, also known as Encomienda Castle, is a historical jewel that stands in the Sierra de Moratalla.

Originally, the population was located on this elevation, but after the border danger receded, it moved to the valley.
