Only the semicircular apse is preserved from the 12th century Romanesque church. The rest of the church is Renaissance, from the 16th century. On the exterior, on the south wall, there is a Plateresque doorway with a semicircular arch decorated with rosaceas and flanked by pilasters topped by flambeaux. On the west wall there is another simpler doorway in Renaissance style. In the interior, with three naves separated by octagonal columns, the Mudejar coffered ceiling and a Romanesque baptismal font stand out. It houses a museum of sacred art, among which are the recumbent Christ, the Virgin of the Rosary and the tablets of the Prophets and the Sibyls. It also houses interesting collections of gold and silver work, archeology and mineralogy.
