Description
This is the most notable building in Fuerte del Rey. Its construction was completed in 1796. It has a single floor with whitewashed pointed arches. The choir is set on a raised level facing the altar. The façade is built in ashlar stone, reinforced with strong buttresses. The most interesting feature is the bell gable at the foot of the church. It is arranged in three sections separated by moulding, with a window in the second section framed by ashlar surrounds. The final section, the bell gable proper, is not built in stone, and features two stylised bell openings covered with semicircular arches. It ends in a pediment shaped like a truncated pyramid, decorated at its base with graceful scrollwork.
