  The first retablo in the church was completed by the 17th-century and carved by Antonio Dupar, however, this was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War of 1936. The present retablo is a 10th-century work by Antonio Carrión Valverde and Nicolás Prados López.
  
  During the civil War the church suffered the destruction of its interior which in the half of the 20th century its restoration was completed. The title of the sanctuary corresponds to the Diocese of Cartagena, being declared Bien de Interés Cultural.
