The recently restored church, which has a Carmelite façade with a niche, houses the chapel and lady chapel of Jesus, designed in the 17th century to house the famous Renaissance sculpture of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno ("The Grandfather"), belonging to the brotherhood founded in the same convent of San José in 1588 and which is carried out at dawn on Good Friday before thousands of devotees.

On the façade there is a beautiful terracotta sculpture of San José made by Paco Tito.
