Description
The parish Church of St. Helena was erected in 1793 on an ancient medieval hermitage, raised to commemorate the Christian victory in the battle of the Navas de Tolosa, which set these sites.
Built in overturned and painted masonry, its simple, small-sized facade speaks a classicist language: a slight step emphasizes the access door, composed of a half-point arch on imposts, flanked by Tuscan pilasters, which give way to an internment completed on a triangular front with bones on each side. On the ledge of this first body is raised an airous spadagna, with a pyramidal structure on three levels, with pinacullos at the ends and half-point holes for bells. The sword underlines its hierarchy, making it the highest building in the square.
Inside it is a single drawer ship, covered with a half-barrel vault and double lunetes on the sides. The presbyterium is opened with a tural arc and also hornains made up of Tuscan columns, empleamento and triangular fronton are observed. This space is covered with a vault of edges and is illuminated by two large, bone-shaped windows. The header is presided over by the sculptural image of the patron saint, St. Helena, between dogrous columns that support an internment and a curved fronton.
