Built in 1723 and rebuilt in 1940, the church has a single box nave. Externally, it demonstrates clear volumetric geometry that emphasizes the quadrangular structure and the central axis. Its stone rigging is cared for and the ensemble shows severe packaging.
In the vicinity of the Iglesia Parroquial Virgen de la Estrella is what was formerly the Town Hall, later the Agrarian Chamber and currently the San Isidro Retirement Home. It consists of a ground floor and two upper sections, with lintelled openings, those of the floor’s upper balconies, arranged on the axis and between attached pillars. The set is completed by a bell tower.
A landmark from the eighteenth century, this building was first used as a prison and later a grain store and a Health Centre. Currently, it is the Headquarters of an Adult School.
