      History


      Built between 1900 and 1904, the architects in charge of the project were Juan Bautista Lázaro de Diego, who is associated with Gothic Revival architecture, and Narciso Clavería y de Palacios, who is associated with Moorish Revival architecture.
      In 1977 the Boletín Oficial del Estado included the church among a number of buildings to be protected by means of a heritage listing. The definition of the protected area around the monument appears to be ongoing. The monument's protection environment was set out in 1993, but as at 2014 its current protection status as a Bien de Interés Cultural is pending (Incoado con Delimitación).
