The church dates back to the time of the Catholic Monarchs, specifically the 16th century. Its main entrance presents a spectacular doorway attributed to the sculptor and architect Juan Rodríguez. This doorway follows the classic scheme, with a semicircular arch flanked by two columns with Corinthian capitals. On the entablature and triangular pediment, you will find granite sculptures representing mythological beings and gargoyles.

Church with three wide naves that began to be built in the s. XV, being in its day one of the best of the time in the province.
If you visit the town at Christmas, you should know that it is part of the Moraña Nativity Scene Route.
