La iglesia de Santa María is a ruined temple in the town of Cazorla, in the province of Jaén. Located in the Plaza de Santa María, the building was constructed over the riverbed that flows through the town.
The architect responsible for the design of the church may have been Andrés de Vandelvira. However, the building was affected by a flood in 1694. The church is mentioned in the sixth volume of the work by Pascual Madoz.
Despite the passage of time, the ruins were included in the declaration of the historic-artistic ensemble of Cazorla. The declaration describes them as the glorious plateresque ruins of the iglesia de Santa María, a magnificent work probably due to Andrés de Vandelvira.
