Almost nothing is left of its Romanesque nave and sanctuary.The most significant feature are the two Mudejar towers.The older of the two is called the Torre de los Ajedreces or Chess Tower. This is because its decoration is like the game of the same name.There are also fish-shaped bricks.The arcaded gallery of the south wall is made up of various arches on divided columns.Their capitals bear different decorative motifs.Segovian influence is prominent.
