Religious architecture, dating from the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Rectangular parish church composed of a nave and chancel, with sacristy and bell tower, having two transept arms added at the end of the 20th century. It has interior wooden roofs, gabled and with beams in the nave and coffered ceilings in the chancel, sparsely illuminated by windows in the right side facade of the chancel body. It has a 20th-century bell tower, with three registers and round-arched windows. Main facade with a gable, with three axes of openings, composed of a portal and two large windows, all rectilinear. Facades with pilastered quoins and concrete frieze finishes. Interior with a high choir resting on stone corbels, accessed from the annex, with side chapels and facing pulpits. A triumphal arch with a perfect vault, resting on Tuscan piastras, flanked by Mannerist carved altarpieces. Chancel with a central stepped platform, where the main altarpiece stands, reusing elements of Mannerist carving. A church of 17th-century foundation, of which the original structure and some openings in the sash form are maintained, profoundly remodeled in the 20th century, with the construction of the annexes, the transept, and the creation of the bell tower, this one quite tall, with three registers. The main façade and the bell tower are covered with patterned tiles. Inside, the side altarpieces, of erudite Mannerist structure, stand out, profoundly altered with the 20th-century restoration, with the reform of the finialço and the execution of new altar tables. The Epistle side altarpiece, dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima, stands out for its high-quality carving. It retains its preparatory layer and, through its structure and decorative grammar, reveals a transitional style, datable to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It features profuse phytomorphic decoration, a scalloped back panel, but also includes urns at the top of the Corinthian columns, adorned with festoons, revealing Neoclassical elements. The main altarpiece, recently gilded, showcases the use of twisted columns, a late 17th-century style, with archivolts in a national Baroque style altarpiece structure. Also noteworthy is the Crucified altarpiece, a Neo-Baroque revivalist piece with a concave structure, possessing several Neoclassical influences, notably the urns at the top and the faux marble effect on the columns.
