It is a Baroque church built to replace an older building, some remains of which have been incorporated into the south wall of the present structure. It has a single nave, with a transept that is not clearly defined in plan and a polygonal chancel, plus three projecting sections on the Epistle side, comprising the bell tower, its entrance hall and the portico.
It is constructed of masonry, except for some sections of the bell tower, which were repaired using brick.
Externally, the stepped arrangement of the volumes stands out, resulting from the different heights of the nave and the attached sections, as well as the octagonal drum of the dome that caps the transept, in whose sections there were once semicircular arched windows that are now blocked up. The church is lit by numerous openings, which are generally slotted in the lower sections and semicircular in the upper part of the nave walls.
The portico is situated at the end of the Epistle nave, in the section just before the chancel. It has a square plan, covered by a hipped roof, and opens outwards at the front through a semicircular arch. At the rear of the portico, offset from its opening, is the church door, a semicircular arch with massive voussoirs.
The interior is whitewashed and features Baroque-style decoration. The single nave consists of three bays, covered by barrel vaults with lunettes; the choir loft is situated in the chancel bay, resting on semicircular arches; the next two bays contain shallow side chapels with semicircular arched entrances. The transept is of large proportions in relation to the building as a whole and is covered by an eight-sided dome separated by ribs that converge at a large central keystone. The chancel, in turn, consists of two bays of different dimensions, both covered by barrel vaults.
From the first section of the chancel, one enters the sacristy, a rectangular space divided into two areas and situated beneath the tower. A notable feature here is a stone washbasin attached to one of the walls; it features plant motifs and, in the centre, a face in relief.
The bell tower is situated on the Epistle wall, to one side of the chancel. It has a rectangular plan and four sections (the lower of which corresponds to the sacristy). The upper section is separated from the others by a string course; its walls feature pairs of semicircular openings for bells. The top is crowned by a pyramidal roof, the sides of which have a double slope.
