The ruins of the old mosque formed the basis for the construction of this church in the middle of the 16th century. The old Alcolea Church had a single nave, with or without a separate main chapel, walls with masonry fillings between bands of bricks, and ashlar stonework in the angles as a reinforcement.

It was burned by the Moors in the 1568 rebellion. The woodwork was rebuilt in the last decade of the 16th century by Cristóbal de Espinosa, and the wood cut and fashioned by a group of Frenchmen active in the region at the time, among them Lau and Anton de Rochaforte, as well as Esteban Rodel. In the 17th century more work and repairs were carried out. In 1711 the mason Joseph Merino worked on the Alcolea Church, and his work was valued, one year later, by the master Manuel Risueño.

In 1994 and 1995, all the locals of Alcolea contributed money to work on repairs in general. The roofing and tower were repaired according to a photograph by José María Moya dating to 1922, making it the most airy tower in the immediate neighbourhood.
