It has a nave and two aisles, with Gothic vaults supported by flying buttresses between which are the side chapels, each with movable retablos. The bell tower dates to the 15th century, and was commissioned by Cardinal Cisneros, whose coat of arms, together with those of the town, can be seen externally on the third floor. The so-called "Portal of the Resurrection" (16th century) is in mixed MudéjarRenaissance style. The high altar is by Narciso Tomé.
