The Church of Comares is the most outstanding monument in its history. As soon as the town was conquered, it formed part of the so-called "vicariate of Malaga".

Over the years, the church of Comares has undergone a number of repairs and extensions, especially at the end of the 17th century and during the 18th century, The sacristy was enlarged in 1721, when the Sagrario chapel was built.

The main façade of the church faces south. Behind the chancel there is a courtyard which once served as a cemetery. The church comprises three naves, seven pointed arches with chamfered archivolts, and four pilasters with projecting bases and a floor of standard Nasrid-style paving. The roof is truly impressive. It consists of a very well-preserved trough, featuring rich geometric fretwork and a central bow motif with a muqarnas. It has five paired struts, with the outer ones set into the structure, and also features Renaissance-style corbels. According to records, this wooden structure was built in the 16th century and the timber was brought from Cartagena.

The chancel is square in plan, with a hipped roof featuring hip domes and a finial. The beams of the side aisles rest on wooden corbels. Both the coffered ceilings of the central nave and those of the chancel are in the Mudejar style. The high altarpiece was once of great merit, but it was destroyed in 1931. It was completely rebuilt in 1948. The side chapel of the Tabernacle features a single spherical dome, richly decorated. Externally, it forms an octagonal tower. It is believed that the chapel and the Sagrario tower were built by a sailor, because of a promise he made when he found himself in danger of shipwreck.
