The chapel stands in the historic centre and, according to tradition, was founded by James I after conquering the town. Its doorway is Baroque and is crowned by a triangular bell tower that is a unique example in Spain. The interior shows Mozarabic influences, a feature that sets the building apart within the religious architecture of the district. The altar is presided over by San Roque, the town's patron saint, so the temple brings together in one space the memory of the conquest, an unusual architectural solution and local devotion. The doorway and the bell tower are the elements that best identify the building from outside.
