"La Iglesia Vieja de Zafarraya es una construcción de estilo neoclásico atribuida al mismo arquitecto que diseñó la Iglesia de La Merced de Málaga.

Derribada por los movimientos sísmicos del Terremoto de Andalucía, disponía de tres naves cubiertas a dos aguas con artesonado de madera, muros de ladrillo y mampostería. La nave central, muy amplia, formaba crucero con otra más corta y en su intersección se erigía una cúpula. Estaba acompañada de dos naves laterales de menor altura y en la cabecera, estaba el altar mayor. La fachada estaba formada por una gran puerta con arco de medio punto y frontón de ladrillo.

Las ruinas que aún permanecen, han sido objeto de una reciente restauración, convirtiendo este soberbio monumento en un espacio para la cultura del municipio, sirviendo además de hito para el incipiente turismo que se empieza a desarrollar en la zona".

"The Old Church of Zafarraya is a neoclassical style construction attributed to the same architect who designed the Church of La Merced in Malaga.

Demolished by the seismic movements of the Andalusian Earthquake, it had three gable-covered naves with wooden coffered ceilings, brick walls and masonry. The central nave, very wide, formed a transept with a shorter one and at their intersection a dome was erected. It was accompanied by two side naves of lower height and at the head was the main altar. The façade was formed by a large door with a semicircular arch and a brick pediment.

The ruins that still remain have been the subject of a recent restoration, turning this superb monument into a space for the culture of the municipality, also serving as a landmark for the incipient tourism that is beginning to develop in the area."
