The façade carved in fine granite from the Entrimo Mountains, has the shape of an altarpiece and is organized in four sections, framed by pilasters. The first centered on the door, in a semi-circular molded arch, adorned with the heads of angels and flanked by three pairs of columns: smooth Solomonic columns in the upper part of the shaft, the first ones and striated the other two pairs. The second body has a niche with the stone image of the Virgin of the Assumption and four pairs of Solomonic columns linked with vine stems and their fruits. In the center of the third body there is a panel of the Holy Trinity, with the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and the Father and the Son in human figures wearing a crown destined for the Virgin Mary. On both sides there are four pairs of Solomonic columns like those of the second body. The fourth body is a wide frieze topped by a split pediment, standing out in the middle the shield of Spain with the double-headed eagle, being the decoration of frames and leaf motifs, crowned with three statues of angels playing stringed instruments that occupy the podium and the angles of the pediment.
