At the highest point of the urban core the church overlooks majestically the village. The House of worship was built between 1710 and 1774 and some renovations have been undertaken until the mid XX century. The parish church is dedicated to Santa Maria Magdalena. The austerity outside discovers inside a rich ornamentation dominated by the white and gold. The construction of the temple began upon an old chapel. Initially the Church consisted of three chapels on both sides and in the centre the high altar which is devoted to the Patron Saint, San Roque and San Cristóbal. One of the most significant enlargements and renovations was carried out in 1911, when the dome was tiled in blue and white. At that time they built the chapel of the communion, the grandstands of the presbytery, the cloister gallery and pavement. At the same time, ornament the building with the conchated crypt, cornices and pilaster of the entire temple. The Bell Tower was built in 1921 and in 1953 was to prepare in the façade to set the clock in 1961. Along general lines the interior of the Church is a simple Baroque style with neoclassical features. There are, however, outside some forms which are reminiscent of the neo-Gothic as the arc of the Bell Tower through which we see the campaign. The exterior is much simpler, in material of Tosca stone on the facade, and an entry with a lintel, neoclassical, very balanced and simple. Outside you can see a niche to Santa Maria Magdalena.
