The old convent, of stone and brick seen, shows a style of Mudejar influence, whereas the church is a neogothic unit of Barcelona influenced by Viollet-le-Duc , with ceramic pavements. It was designed as a single-nave temple with side chapels, but these were later removed. It has a cruise with dome and polygonal apse with anambulatory. Outside there is a brick that is seen combined with ceramics and stone. The set is highlighted by the long, slender needle of the polygonal bell tower.
