<p>It stands in the neighborhood outside the walls of the same name, a medieval suburb inhabited by Christians, dedicated to agriculture and grazing, and by a large contingent of Mudejars. Within the late Romanesque style of Avila, it was built in "cale&ntilde;o" granite between the second half of the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th century. Of that original construction, the chevet and the doorways remain.</p> <p>The three entrances have semicircular arches with archivolts. The northern one is the most ornamented, based on studs, palmettes and ivy leaves, very common in the Romanesque churches of Zamora. The capitals of the archivolts contain vegetal decoration.</p> <p>The tower is attached to the north side of the chancel, divided into three sections and divided into two different construction periods. A Vetton zoomorphic sculpture was reused in the base.</p> <p>It is articulated in three naves that culminate in an apse of great development the central one and in rectangular chapels the lateral ones. Except for the chevet, the temple was covered with Baroque plasterwork in the 17th century.</p> <p>It was declared a National Monument in 1980.</p>
