Its façade, of Gothic-Renaissance transition, was rebuilt in 1879, moving to it the main doorway, from the old monastery of San Ildefonso and on which it can be read "In this church Catholic worship was kept public in the time of the Saracens". Above the façade there is a large round window, and to its right stands the bell tower, which dates from 1606. The church, rectangular in shape, is structured in three naves of equal height separated by arches and an apse.
