The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación was built in the early 15th century, but has undergone various renovations over time. It is small in size and has a single nave. It has two entrances: a side entrance and the main entrance, which is located on the main façade and features a semicircular arch. Its entrance, built of stone ashlars, and its bell tower—which has traditionally been associated with the minaret of the old mosque—are particularly striking.
Inside its humble interior, among other images, hangs that of its patron saint, the beheaded Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, whose feast day is celebrated with great joy every October 9. But what truly catches our eye is its ceiling. It is a wooden coffered ceiling in the Mudejar tradition dating from the 16th–17th centuries, consisting of two panels with cross-braced struts and star-shaped motifs, featuring lobed corbels inspired by the lobed modillions of the Mosque of Córdoba.
At the base of the tower, on its facade—where the Cross of the Fallen once stood—there is a plaque inscribed with a stanza from the poem *España en Paz* by the renowned poet Antonio Machado, condemning wars and advocating for pacifism.
