Torre campanario de planta cuadrada de tres cuerpos, en el último, ocho vanos de arco de medio punto, dos por cara, donde alberga dos campanas. Realizado en ladrillos en el siglo XVII. Finaliza con chapitel.

"De notable interés es la ermita de Finibus Terrae que se alza en un extremo del caserío.
Se trata de obra de origen mudéjar, luego remodelada mediante su acortamiento, que perteneció al convento de las agustinas hasta el traslado de esta comunidad a Badajoz en 1779.

Su interior es de tres naves, sobre pilares y arcos apuntados con enmarque de alfiz. Ante el presbiterio se sitúan dos columnas con cimacios visigodos.

Al exterior ostenta magnífica portada ojival del siglo XV, y sencilla pero airosa torre del XVII.
Sobre la cabecera original, hay abierta a un patiecillo posterior, se adosa un retablo barroco de fábrica superpuesto a unas pinturas medievales".

A square bell tower with three sections, the top section having eight semicircular arched openings, two per side, housing two bells. Built in brick in the 17th century, it ends with a spire.

"Of notable interest is the Finibus Terrae chapel, which stands at one end of the village.
This Mudejar-style building, later remodeled by shortening, belonged to the Augustinian convent until the community moved to Badajoz in 1779.

Its interior has three naves, supported by pillars and pointed arches with alfiz frames. In front of the presbytery are two columns with Visigothic cornices.

The exterior boasts a magnificent 15th-century pointed doorway and a simple but graceful 17th-century tower.
Above the original sanctuary, which opens onto a small rear courtyard, is a Baroque altarpiece superimposed on medieval paintings."
