"Fue construida en estilo mudéjar en el siglo XVI, aunque las consecutivas reformas han transformado su aspecto original. La primitiva iglesia de Picena se construyó a mediados del siglo XVI. En 1781 se proyecta la nueva iglesia, para la que fue preciso demoler varias casas. Se concluyó en 1788.

Se trata de un templo de una nave de planta rectangular, con arcos de medio punto en los muros laterales que forman capillas-hornacinas de poca profundidad y otro arco de mayor tamaño en el presbiterio. Centrando la cabecera se levanta la torre, con un vano de medio punto en cada lateral del cuerpo de campanas y tejado a cuatro aguas."

"It was built in the Mudejar style in the 16th century, although subsequent renovations have transformed its original appearance. The primitive church of Picena was built in the mid-16th century. In 1781 the new church was planned, for which it was necessary to demolish several houses It was completed in 1788.

It is a temple with a rectangular nave, with semicircular arches on the side walls that form shallow chapels-niches and another larger arch in the presbytery. Centering the head stands the tower, with a semicircular opening on each side of the bell body and a hipped roof."
