This temple is composed of three naves with chapels between the side buttresses and a large ambulatory at the head. The most emblematic part of this church is its tower of about fifty-six meters high built by the Viñes brothers between the years 1688 and 1705 in the baroque style prevailing at their time. This hexagonal-shaped building has four floors, a staircase with 128 steps, the body that houses the bells and a stone balustrade with a temple finishing off the whole. The area of the bell tower is the one that presents the greatest ornamentation with Solomonic columns wrapped around each of the edges and above them a ball representing the globe crowned with a weather vane with the symbols of Saint Catherine. On the outside, the flared openings with baroque decoration in each of the sections stand out, the access to the tower through a door that leads to a spiral staircase and the clock built in 1914.< /span>
