The church stands on the site that the old mosque must have occupied. Originally built in the Gothic style, it underwent important transformations in the first half of the seventeenth century by the hand of the master builder of the Bishopric of Jaén, Juan de Aranda y Salazar. Towards the outside, the building is resolved as a square volume to which the belfry and the west portal were attached in the 17th century. The main portal of the temple is slightly off-center due to the presence of the belfry.
