"Este templo parroquial, construido de nueva planta, se edificó en 1964 sobre los restos de la antigua iglesia del siglo XVIII. El nuevo templo es de estilo moderno y vanguardista. Es uno de los monumentos más significativos de la localidad y presenta una sola nave con presbiterio poligonal.

En el interior hay que destacar una Virgen Dolorosa, del siglo XVIII, y un San José, de la misma época, que se encuentra en la capilla de la Virgen del Rosario. También pertenecen al citado siglo un Jesús Nazareno, de candelero, venerado en la nave, y una Inmaculada, conservada en la sacristía. La Virgen del Rosario, patrona de la localidad, y un San Antonio, son obras del siglo XVIII. También se venera en este templo una Virgen del Carmen."

Inside, we must highlight a Virgin of Sorrows, from the 18th century, and a Saint Joseph, from the same period, which is located in the chapel of the Virgin of the Rosary. Also belonging to the aforementioned century is a Nazarene Jesus, with a candlestick, venerated in the nave, and an Immaculate Conception, preserved in the sacristy. The Virgin of the Rosary, patron saint of the town, and a Saint Anthony, are works from the 18th century. A Virgin of Carmen is also venerated in this temple."
