Iglesia construida en el siglo XII. Conserva la traza románica en el ábside y el muro meridional siendo el resto una reconstrucción de estilos posteriores. Alberga un Cristo Yacente de Francisco Fermín. (XVII). Con siete arcos y uno de cada lado apoyado en un capitel sin columna, y una pila bautismal del XIII, de piedra zamorana con arcos rebajados sobre columnas con figuras en relieve que representan el bautismo de Cristo.
Primitivamente se llamó Iglesia de San Román. Fue incendiada durante el llamado Motín de la Trucha (1158), que según la leyenda enfrentó a nobles y plebeyos en torno al mercado callejero de abastos, durante el reinado de Fernando II.
En el interior se han conservado dos curiosos ciclos de pinturas murales del gótico lineal con escenas de la vida de Cristo y la Virgen, además de un San Cristobalón del siglo XVI.
Church built in the 12th century. It preserves the Romanesque traces in the apse and the southern wall, the rest being a reconstruction of later styles. It houses a Reclining Christ by Francisco Fermín. (XVII). With seven arches and one on each side supported on a capital without a column, and a baptismal font from the XIII, made of Zamora stone with lowered arches on columns with figures in relief that represent the baptism of Christ.
Originally it was called the Church of San Román. It was set on fire during the so-called Trout Riot (1158), which according to legend confronted nobles and commoners around the street food market, during the reign of Fernando II.
Inside, two curious cycles of linear Gothic wall paintings have been preserved with scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin, as well as a 16th-century San Cristobalón.
