Construction of the mainly Renaissance-style church began circa 1510–1515, and continued until 1569, when the bell-tower was erected. The site is said to have once housed the castle of Robda (destroyed during 1476-1478). The church arquitects were the brothers Pedro and Juan de Alviz.
The interior has an Adoration of the Magi by Luca Giordano. The sacristy has wood carvings attributed to Berruguete.[1]
