The façade of the church was painted with bright colors. Today, in the doorway and under the cornice below the window, some of the original color is still visible. The half circle of the espadaña, or pediment, is a reconstruction dating to 1921. The columns on the front of the church were painted red, the capitals yellow with black markings. These capitals are Egyptian in style, introduced into Spain by the Moors and copied here by the person who designed the façade. The statue niches, a Roman introduction, were painted blue. The pointed arches of the two niches beside the window are Moorish in style. The tower was built in three stories—the baptistery on the ground floor, the robing room on the next level, and the bell arches on top. You can still see the holes where scaffolding was built into the walls during construction—round holes in the lower part of the tower, and square holes in the brick of the bell arch piers.
