Torre campanario de un cuerpo, con cuatro vanos de arco de medio punto donde alberga tres campanas. Techo a cuatro aguas de cerámica azul.

"El templo parroquial de San Lorenzo pertenece a un tipo de arquitectura representante de la fusión del estilo neoclásico con los elementos barrocos.
Presenta un esquema original de planta central formada por seis elipses que convergen en la central, de mayor proporciones, cubierta por una cúpula y rematada por una linterna.

Destacar las torres-campanario y la linterna de la cúpula, bellamente revocadas en azul y blanco.
La belleza de esta iglesia radica en la armonía de su planta y alzado, y en su sencillez y elegancia.

Las trazas del templo son del arquitecto madrileño, Director de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando y gran renovador de nuestra arquitectura, Ventura Rodríguez. Este mismo arquitecto daría también trazas para el remate de la torre de la Catedral, a finales del siglo XVIII.
El templo de San Lorenzo guarda gran similitud con la iglesia de San Marcos de Madrid, del mismo autor, que pasa por ser una de sus obras más originales".

Bell tower of one body, with four semicircular arch openings where it houses three bells. Blue ceramic hipped roof.

"The parish temple of San Lorenzo belongs to a type of architecture representative of the fusion of the neoclassical style with baroque elements.
It presents an original scheme of a central plan formed by six ellipses that converge in the central one, of larger proportions, covered by a dome and topped by a lantern.

Highlight the bell towers and the dome lantern, beautifully plastered in blue and white.
The beauty of this church lies in the harmony of its plan and elevation, and in its simplicity and elegance.

The designs of the temple are by the Madrid architect, Director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando and great innovator of our architecture, Ventura Rodríguez. This same architect would also provide designs for the top of the Cathedral tower, at the end of the 18th century.
The temple of San Lorenzo bears great similarity to the church of San Marcos in Madrid, by the same author, which happens to be one of his most original works."
