Masonry building, a vessel with three vaults separated by about half pilasters, clad with ribbed arches and barrel sections. Rectangular hall is straight, boasting an arc and cloistered vault. Adjacent chapel, modern in design. Entrance facade, characterized by bulrush-inspired columns, features centered arched doorway and simple porch adorned with more arches. The edifice bears the marks of a populist architectural style; though remnants from the 16th century remain, they are largely eclipsed by later renovations. Rectangular hall: Twentieth-century Gothic-style altarpiece adorns this chamber, which features a recess holding an iconic image - Torrealba's Virgin and Child sculpture - passed down through generations in her right hand, dating back to the eighteenth century. This sacred refuge garners attention each year during Easter celebrations in "La Pica." Local lore reveals that residents of Torremocha christen their Easter celebration "La Pica" after witnessing partygoers competing to crack the toughest eggs while simultaneously taking hits from opponents - whoever manages to maintain their grip on the eggshell wins.
