This temple allows us to contemplate two churches in one, clearly differentiated by their height, workmanship and the patina of its walls. During the sixteenth century they began some works that were not completed, thanks to which we can see a good part of the history of Deleitosa.
The duality is also manifested in the preferences, since the church is dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, although the patron saint of the town is the Cristo del Desamparo (Christ of the Forsaken).
Its origin is uncertain, but in any case the first church may have been built in the fourteenth century or early fifteenth century, when the manor of the Counts of Deleytosa was created.
