The original structure was erected in the 12th century. It shows a combination of styles: Romanesque stone-block apse, Moorish brick walls.

It contains an image of the 15th century representing Saint Michael defeating the Devil. Particularly noteworthy is the Neoclassic altarpiece containing the image of San Tirso, made by a member of the school of Salvador de Carmona, as well as two alabaster pulpits from the monastery and an urn containing the relics of the martyrs San Facundo and San Primitivo.
