It has a single-nave floor plan with chapels set between the buttresses, not connected to one another. The vault of the central nave is a barrel vault, resting on transverse arches which in turn rest on beautiful pilasters. The main chapel is preceded by a large arch bearing the coat of arms of Bishop Don Antonio Brizuela y Salamanca. The presbytery is covered by an interesting pseudo-oval dome on pendentives, built in the 17th century. At the foot of the church stands the raised choir, supported by two columns, and the bell tower. The original main altarpiece, of which only the attic section survives intact, is a Baroque work, also completed in the second half of the 17th century, though gilded in 1737 by the master craftsmen Manuel Pancorbo and Antonio Clavijo. It shows a three-section structure divided by Solomonic columns, with an attic section housing an image of Christ Crucified. This church has seven side chapels, traditionally linked to particular families. During the Civil War, the original altarpieces disappeared, along with the rich collection of religious imagery from its altars. • Chapel of San José • Chapel of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores • Chapel of San Antonio • Chapel of María Auxiliadora • Chapel of the Souls (Ánimas) • Chapel of the Veracruz • Chapel of the Señor de la Columna

Characterised by a hollow or plain enclosed on all four sides, with a narrow outlet serving as an overflow for the stream known as Arroyo de Los Llanos, which crosses it from east to west on its way to the Arroyo Salado, into which it flows near La Alameda. Los Llanos is a fertile plain of around 50 hectares, surrounded by hills that shape a landscape with a hard-earned reputation for harshness. This spot tends to record the municipality's most extreme temperatures in both winter and summer, with frequent frosts in winter and extremely scorching heat on summer afternoons. These factors, combined with the moisture the soil retains, make it ideal for cereal farming but not very suitable for extensive olive cultivation. Inhospitable as it is, all that remains here are the ruins of the Cortijo de las Canteras, so named for having been built next to old quarries, and the heavily altered farmhouses of Cruz del Carrero and the nearby Corneta. Of two other farmhouses that once stood on the same plain, barely a shadowy trace of their threshing floors remains in what is now cultivated land. This depopulation has allowed birds of prey and steppe birds to take over the site, and it is not unusual to see Montagu's harriers, as well as owls, barn owls and others. From the surrounding hills, there are wonderful panoramic views over the whole area around Los Llanos, Los Llanos del Salado, Cerro Girón, La Hondonera, Matamujeres, as well as the entire surroundings of Higuera and even Porcuna and other spots in the Martos countryside.

The highest point in the municipality corresponds to the Haza de la Sierra geodesic marker (479 m), while the lowest point lies at around 350 m, in the bed of the Arroyo Salado, the main watercourse crossing the district from south to north. The remaining streams are of minor importance and have an intermittent flow, all of them tributaries of the Salado.

With extensively studied archaeological sites dating back to the 2nd millennium BC, which have made it possible to reconstruct the earliest history not only of this municipality, but of the whole Campiña Norte region of Jaén, since it later provided shelter and defence to successive cultures up to the Roman period. The Romans marked out its territory with towers — including those of Calvete and El Espino — and restructured its urban layout during the early Roman Empire, eventually being recognised as a city under Vespasian.

The Salado de Arjona rises in the municipal district of Los Villares and flows through the Campiña region of Jaén in a roughly north–south direction over some 48 km, before flowing into the Guadalquivir river near the town of Marmolejo. The main towns within its basin are Martos and Lopera. It flows into the Guadalquivir within the municipal district of Marmolejo.

Since the mid-20th century, the Romería de San Isidro has been held at Fuente Palacios on 15 May, in which the patron saint of farmers is carried in procession from Higuera de Calatrava to his hermitage, where locals gather for lunch and spend a festive day featuring float and horse competitions.
