The church has a single rectangular nave divided into several sections and a main chapel with a Baroque altarpiece. Its square bell tower topped with a pyramidal spire stands out above the village. Located in the upper part of the historic center, the church plays an important role in the religious and cultural life of the community.

The church is located on Calle Iglesia in Barrado, in the upper part of the urban center, a short distance from Plaza de España.

Resource access level
It is recommended to explore the interior at a relaxed pace to appreciate the high altarpiece, the access portals, the façade details, the side altars, and the wooden choir. Visitors should respect the religious nature of the building, maintain silence during services, and, if interested in historical or artistic details, seek information from the parish or local tourism resources.
Access streets are narrow and slightly sloped, so comfortable footwear is recommended and it is advisable not to attempt to reach the church entrance directly by car. On rainy days, pavements and access steps may be slippery, so extra caution is required when walking.
