Al igual que otras iglesias de Pueblos-andaluces, se construyó tras la reconquista sobre los restos de una antigua mezquita árabe. En su estructura que ha sufrido diversas reformas a lo largo de su historia, destacan los elementos renacentistas. En su interior se encuentran las veneradas imágenes del Cristo de la Columna y un Crucificado de mediados del siglo XVIII.
