La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario de Cartajima se construyó a principios del s. XVI tras la caída de Ronda y la conquista cristiana de la Serranía.

El templo ha sufrido importantes transformaciones a lo largo de su historia, siendo la más reciente la realizada a mediados del s. XX.

La primitiva iglesia estuvo dividida en tres naves de las que tan solo se conserva una, cubierta con armadura de madera. En el interior se conservan las imágenes del patrón, San José, y la patrona, la Virgen del Rosario. La imagen más popular es el Niño Jesús, situada en un lateral de la iglesia.

La arquitectura exterior sorprende por su sencillez y por la torre del campanario, de tres cuerpos de altura, rematada por un tejadillo piramidal.
