It stands in Santo Domingo Square and is now linked to the convent occupied by the Augustinian nuns; it formerly belonged to the Dominican convent, which is first recorded in 1274. The work on the transept dates from the mid-14th century.
Despite the alterations and additions, the church essentially retains its Gothic structure and interior beauty. It has a Latin cross plan, and the chancel consists of three polygonal apses with ribbed vaults, featuring tall windows with trefoil-shaped tops. The central nave and the transept are covered by pointed vaults; the central nave is crowned by a dome.
The south entrance is set within a Baroque portico supporting a tall section of the building with square windows. It is a very beautiful doorway, with a pointed arch formed by three pairs of columns and four archivolts featuring exquisite decoration.
