"La Iglesia Parroquial Nuestra Señora del Pilar es del siglo XVI, levantada posiblemente en el solar de una antigua mezquita. Es de planta rectangular y una nave con un artístico artesonado mudéjar. Tenía un retablo de Pedro Machuca que quemaron los moriscos.

Presenta dos portadas: la principal a los pies, con arco de medio punto entre pilastras toscasnas y hornacina superior con volutas; y la secundaria en el lateral izquierdo, adintelada y con frontón triangular. La torre de dos cuerpos más el de campanas se sitúa en la cabecera. Guarda en su interior, entre otras, las imágenes de los patrones del pueblo, la Virgen del Pilar y San Blas."

"The Nuestra Señora del Pilar Parish Church dates back to the 16th century, possibly built on the site of an old mosque. It has a rectangular floor plan and a nave with an artistic Mudejar coffered ceiling. It had an altarpiece by Pedro Machuca that the Moors burned.

It has two doorways: the main one at the foot, with a semicircular arch between Tuscan pilasters and an upper niche with volutes; and the secondary one on the left side, lintel and with a triangular pediment. The tower with two sections plus the bell tower is located at the head. It keeps inside, among others, the images of the town's patron saints, the Virgen del Pilar and San Blas."
