The San Pedro Apóstol Parish Church is a single-nave temple of mudejar style which was built in the 17th Century on the same site where Diego Romero (founder of Pizarra) placed the first church in the village two centuries before.

In 1652, a priest was assigned to the temple, being converted into a parish church and obtaining the ecclesiastical independence of Álora.

The tower, which is located at the head of the Epistle Side, has three different parts. Two of them were made of masonry, while brick was used for the top one, where the bells are hung. This last wing was added in 1862 thanks to the “Compañía del Ferrocarril de Málaga a Córdoba”, the company that built the railway line from Málaga to Córdoba.

In the 19th century, the Church was improved, being provided with a new entrance gate; with the stained glass windows and the roses (which are still preserved) being brought from San Sebastián.

The Church was plundered during the War of Independence and the disturbances of 1931 and 1936, causing the disappearance of most of its contents, original images and ornaments.

From 1939 onwards, thanks to the help of the Counts of Puerto Hermoso and the people of Pizarra, almost everything in its interior has been replaced.
