A igreja foi reconstruída a partir de 1730, por se encontrar em ruínas a primeira igreja, e ficou concluída em 1739, sendo dedicada a Santo Ildefonso de Toledo.
A fachada é composta por duas torres sineiras com dentilhões nas cornijas, rematadas em cada face por esferas e frontões de fantasia. Por cima do entablamento ergue-se o nicho do padroeiro. Guarnecem as paredes azulejos de Jorge Colaço (1932), com cenas da vida de Santo Ildefonso e alegorias da Eucaristia.
A nave é de tipo poligonal em estilo proto-barroco, com tecto em madeira e estuques ornamentais repetidos nas paredes. Os altares laterais são obras neo-clássicas e os colaterais são de talha rococó. O retábulo em talha barroca é rococó da segunda metade do século XVIII.
