In Praza de Ferrol, near the Puerta Falsa, it was originally a chapel attached to the Hospital of San Bartolomé, founded
in 1621.
In its present form, the church was built in 1768, during the time of Bishop Izquierdo. It is covered by a barrel vault, with a small central dome. It has a very distinctive Baroque façade, bearing the coat of arms of the bishop who commissioned its construction, crowned by a statue of Saint Raphael, the archangel of healing. The image of Saint Bartholomew presides over the doorway within a niche, and the façade is flanked by two small, elegant towers. Following the destruction of the hospital in a fire in 1878, the chapel soon afterwards became the parish church of Saint Froilán, the city’s patron saint.
