The primitive parish church was built between 1184 and 1231 and underwent modifications in 1560. By 1750, the parish was moved to a new church, and the building underwent a new reform that left it in its current state. Today, it stands as a protected cultural heritage site in the province of Huesca.
The interior is divided into four sections and a main chapel. The sections are covered with rib vaults supported by pointed arches, while the main chapel features a dome with lowered arch openings and baroque plasterwork from the second half of the 18th century. A stone, iron, and wood gate dated 1762 separates the nave from an atrium. Inside, several altarpieces reflect different styles, notably a 17th-century neoclassical high altar of carved and gilded wood.
The chapel also houses an organ from the classical Aragonese school with a boxwood keyboard. Outside, a brick facade from the mid-18th century features a simple arched entrance and a bell-gable. In front of the building, a terrace delimited by a barbican holds the Cross of the Corona, which dates to 1817.
