Relieve del tímpano, en el que se puede ver a la Virgen María flanqueada por el Rey Jaume I.

"Según la tradicion fue el mismo Rey Jaime I el que ordenó su construcción, posiblemente sobre la antigua Mezquita Musulmana (s. XIII). La iglesia vieja, de estilo Gótico parroquial, se caracteriza por su planta rectangualar a partir de una unica nave, con capillas a sus laterales.
Actualmente se conserva la portada situada a los pies del templo, compuesta por una arcadas ligeramente apuntando en cuyo timpano se encuentra un grupo escultórico, formado por Santa María, soportado por un ángel y franquiado a su derecha por San Bartolomé y a la izquierda por Santa Bárbara. En ello se mezcla la obra de tapial con la mampostería.
El resto del edificio era de tapial, según la tradición Musulmana. En el 2008 se realizarón obra de consolidación de esto restos Arquéologicos para evitar su deterioro.
Desde la portada hacia el sur se encuebtra la calle trinquet, dedicada en aquellos tiempos al juego de la pelota y desde donde se contemplan unas vistas espectaculares del sur de Xixona y de toda la costa".

Relief on the eardrum, in which you can see the Virgin Mary flanked by King Jaume I.

"According to tradition, it was King Jaime I himself who ordered its construction, possibly on top of the old Muslim Mosque (13th century). The old church, in the parish Gothic style, is characterized by its rectangular floor plan with a single nave, with chapels on its sides.
Currently, the doorway located at the foot of the temple is preserved, composed of slightly pointed arcades in whose eardrum there is a sculptural group, formed by Saint Mary, supported by an angel and flanked on her right by Saint Bartholomew and on the left by Saint Barbara . In it the work of tapial is mixed with the masonry.
The rest of the building was made of mud, according to the Muslim tradition. In 2008, consolidation work was carried out on these archaeological remains to prevent their deterioration.
From the doorway to the south is the trinquet street, dedicated in those times to the game of ball and from where spectacular views of the south of Xixona and the entire coast are contemplated.
