"The exquisite Gothic-Plateresque façade with reminiscences of the Manueline (decoration of stylized forms tied like a rope that runs along the entire baquetón that surrounds the doorway), both styles from the beginning of the 16th century, is made up of an ogee arch sheltered by several archivolts that repeat this pattern, full of decoration in relief like the work of an authentic silversmith, as well as the taste of "horror vacui" so so at this time of the 16th century. Italianate elements are perceived (candelieri, grotesques, fleshy plant forms arranged in scrolls, ovas), as well as typically Spanish elements such as the heraldic motifs with the anagram of Christ and those that are said to be the weapons of the patron Don Alonso de Piña"
