The main church of the old town, with a late Gothic interior and a Baroque façade. It is the most important religious building in Tarifa.
Built in the early 16th century near the site of an old mosque, the church retains late Gothic vaulting inside, and an ornate Baroque façade was added in the 18th century. It contains a Visigothic tombstone inscription. It lies at the end of the old town's main street, and entry is free. Keep quiet during Mass. Opening hours are not fixed, but the church is usually open in the morning and evening.
