The architecture of this eclectic temple consists of three naves, where the central nave is wider than the lateral ones. His style is closer to the neoclassical, although with some baroque touches.
 
The images of San Pedro and San Pablo, made in stone and brought from Spain, are shown on the facade. In the garden of the entrance there is an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Inside, it presents canvases with images of the Christ of Pinar del Río and San Rosendo, San José, La Virgen de la Caridad and la Virgen Dolorosa.
