Iglesia situada en la plaza de mismo nombre. Data del siglo XVI. El edificio puede pasar desapercibido por estar entre callejuelas. Destaca de el la torre de campanario de no demasiada altura, con arcos de medio punto y coronada con cruz veleta. La portada principal es otro elemento a destacar, disponiendo de dos columnas cilíndricas con bases rectangulares y con bolardos decorativos sobre las columnas. En el centro sobre la puerta se observa una hornacina pintada en azul con la figura de San Andrés en su interior, todo esto bajo un frontón triangular que está coronado con una gran cruz de piedra. La iglesia actualmente parece albergar pasos procesionales de la Semana Santa conquense.

Impresionante. Muy bonita y grande.

Templo católico construido en el siglo XVI por el arquitecto Pedro de Alviz. Está compuesto por una sola nave de planta trapezoidal, dividida en tres tramos. En su interior destacan sus bóvedas góticas, capillas renacentistas y decoración plateresca. Se realizaron diversas reformas en el siglo XVII y XVIII, entre ellas la construcción de las bóvedas. Su portada principal está elaborada como si de un templo se tratase
