Description

The parish church was begun in 1600. The bell tower is located semi-cast to the right of the façade, with a square floor plan and two sections plus a roof. The construction technique is masonry with ashlar corners and window frames for the bells. The first section has an undecorated plinth, plus a clock face located below the main bell. The two sections are separated by a moulding, and the second section has four windows and a roof. The interior has a Castilian-style staircase, with a ribbed vault under the bell room, which is partially covered by the clock house.

It has a set of bells that were cast in 1955 in the workshops of Casa ROSES d'Atzeneta d'Albaida and transferred to Sinarcas for their blessing and raising to the tower. These were dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, whose centenary of the dogmatic definition was celebrated the year before; to the Blessed Sacrament and to Saint Ursula, patron saint of the town. Of the old ones, only the medium-sized one remains, cast in 1796 and dedicated to Santiago Apóstol, patron saint of the parish.

In the centre of the apse is sculpted the noble coat of arms of the Lords of Sinarcas, which has been adopted as official by the Town Hall.
Of interest to the visitor are the paintings of Santa Ursula and the Holy Trinity. The most valuable image is the Virgen del Rosario, known as "Virgen de las Campanillas".
