Description

Church of baroque and neoclassical style and retains the stylistic characteristics of its original construction.

Composed with a single nave covered by a barrel vault, supported by buttresses, with transept covered by a dome on shells.
The main facade is of great simplicity in its forms, since the original ornamentation is hidden under a layer of lime and paint. On the access door we find a legend of recent incorporation with wrought iron letters where the name of the parish can be read. On the back of the façade, just below the bell tower, there is an analog clock, and on its dial there is a tombstone, probably from 1689, with Latin inscriptions of praise and invocation to Christ and the Virgin Mary, corresponding to a prayer against lightning and storms.
In the interior of the church, they are remarkable the remains of the paintings on wood, only rest of the old main altarpiece of the XVIII century that disappeared in the Civil War. Likewise, it is also remarkable the current high altar loaded with a great baroque, with ornamentation based on Solomonic columns flanquedao the image that presides, the owner of the parish, the Mother of God of the Incarnation, in a beautiful carving of Antonio Ballester.
