Puerta de madera de doble hoja con aberturas más pequeñas para facilidad de uso. Las dos hojas están cosidas con remaches dorados que le dan un aire muy decorativo.

"La construcción de este templo se inició en 1801 a instancia de los duques de Medinaceli y las obras, que estuvieron a cargo del arquitecto lucentino Andrés Cordón, terminaron en 1814. Se trata de un templo neoclásico, con planta de cruz latina. Está constituido por tres naves. Las laterales cubiertas por cuatro pequeñas cúpulas elípticas, mientras que la nave central presenta una bóveda de cañón y lunetos, culminada con una grandiosa cúpula semiesférica sin tambor, dispuesta sobre el crucero.

Atribuido a Francisco José Guerrero, el majestuoso retablo mayor es de madera dorada sobre fondo verde y presenta una decoración que es propia del tercer tercio del siglo XVIII, pudiendo fecharse hacia 1770. Además, el retablo alberga la imagen del Patrón Ntro. Padre Jesús de las Penas, Ecce homo realizado en pasta de papel en 1664."

Double-leaf wooden door with smaller openings for ease of use. The two leaves are sewn with gold rivets that give it a very decorative look.

"The construction of this temple began in 1801 at the request of the Dukes of Medinaceli and the works, which were in charge of the Lucentine architect Andrés Cordón, finished in 1814. It is a neoclassical temple, with a Latin cross plan. It is constituted by three naves. The side ones are covered by four small elliptical domes, while the central nave has a barrel vault and lunettes, culminated with a grandiose hemispherical dome without a drum, arranged above the transept.

Attributed to Francisco José Guerrero, the majestic main altarpiece is made of gilded wood on a green background and presents a decoration that is typical of the third third of the 18th century, and can be dated to around 1770. In addition, the altarpiece houses the image of the Patron Our Lady. Father Jesús de las Penas, Ecce homo made in paper pulp in 1664."
