"Esta iglesia tiene su origen en una capilla que existía en el mismo lugar, que entonces se llamaba Campo de la Jara. El edificio actual fue inaugurado en 1669, aunque ha sufrido varias reformas en épocas posteriores, siendo la construcción de mayor tamaño construida en el siglo XIX.

Tiene planta de cruz latina de tres naves, en la que la principal se divide en cuatro vanos separados por pilastras. El techo es una bóveda de medio cañón con lunetas, en la cruz hay una cúpula semiesférica sobre pechinas, rematada por un farol.

La fachada principal, que se abre a la plaza del mismo nombre, es muy impresionante por la presencia de altas torres que la enmarcan, y responde en general a la reforma de 1858. En el centro tiene una interesante portada barroca, tallada en piedra arenisca, de 1730. aproximadamente, dividido en dos cuerpos sostenidos por columnas corintias en el primero y retorcido en el segundo. En el vestíbulo de entrada hay una imagen de mármol de San Antonio. Una profusa decoración integra la estructura, es una obra original del barroco gaditano.

El retablo mayor, realizado en madera policromada imitando mármol, es una obra de estilo académico del siglo XIX de Manuel García del Álamo. El cuerpo está dividido en tres bandas por columnas corintias, en el principal está la imagen de la Virgen del Patrocinio y en los lados San Antonio y San Francisco de Paula, esculturas policromadas que datan de la producción de Pedro Roldán.

En su interior también se encuentra el retablo perteneciente a la Cofradía del Cristo de la Columna, una notable escultura en madera policromada firmada por Jacinto Pimentel en 1660, cuya columna es una obra mexicana en plata, realizada en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII."
