Edificio ecléctico neomudéjar que se compone de tres naves, donde las laterales son muy pequeñas dando importancia a la principal o intermedia, presentando un crucero destacado en planta. Se encuentran divididas por arcos apuntados que descansan en columnas de hierro fundido que apoyan en sillares de piedra , elemento típico del siglo XIX. Tanto las naves laterales como el presbiterio y el crucero se cubren con bóvedas de falsa crucería, la nave central con armadura de madera. A los pies del templo se alza la portada o fachada realizada en ladrillo visto , accediendo al templo mediante un arco rebajado, sobre este aparece un vano geminado de arcos de herradura con un óculo, y después se alza un frontón triangular, coronado por una espadaña de dos vanos.

Un detalle curioso de esta iglesia es la solería de su interior, la cual se compone de pequeñas piezas de terrazo policromado, a modo de teselas, las cuales configuran una serie de dibujos geométricos que van formando grecas".

"The town of Periana has Arabic-style architecture, like almost all the towns in the Axarquía of Malaga, architecture that is also noticeable in its Church, the Mudejar-style Church of San Isidro Labrador.
Eclectic neo-Mudejar building that is made up of three naves, where the side ones are very small, giving importance to the main or intermediate one, presenting a prominent transept in plan. They are divided by pointed arches that rest on cast iron columns that rest on stone ashlars, a typical element of the 19th century. Both the side naves, the presbytery and the transept are covered with false cross vaults, the central nave with wooden reinforcement. At the foot of the temple stands the doorway or façade made of exposed brick, accessing the temple through a lowered arch, above which a twin opening of horseshoe arches with an oculus appears, and then a triangular pediment rises, crowned by a belfry. with two openings.

A curious detail of this church is the flooring inside, which is made up of small pieces of polychrome terrazzo, like tesserae, which make up a series of geometric drawings that form fretwork.
