The church features three naves separated by six columns, with the central nave covered by a star-shaped vault and lateral chapels between buttresses.

Construction began in the early 16th century under architect Domingo de Mestraitua, followed by contributions from Andrés de Vandelvira and Juan de Orzollo.

The main altar displays a reconstructed Baroque altarpiece divided into five sections, incorporating classical architectural elements and religious imagery.

A three-meter-high alabaster cross from the 15th century stands within one of the side chapels, displaying Flemish Gothic influences.
