During the 17th century, the church of San Sebastián was founded, a name that would last little over time, as it would adopt the name of the Church of Santa María la Coronada in the last third of the 18th century and would remain so until its subsequent demolition already in the twentieth century. This church, of which currently only its bell tower remains, would be moved to the church of La Misericordia, located near the castle, as the parish center of the town of Jimena. In this way, it became a point of urban confluence that facilitated and ordered the expansion of the population towards this area, marking one of the growth limits of the town and becoming the location of a good part of the most important domestic properties. At the beginning of the 19th century, the church already represented the nerve center of the city.
As for its architecture, its execution followed the architectural tradition carried out in the construction of other temples in the city, such as the tower of the church of the Convent of Santa Ana (Current Church of Victory) or the towers that were built in the Monastery of Our Lady Queen of Angels. The lower part of the tower appears completely flat and whitewashed on the outside, while the upper part of the bell tower has an exposed brick base.
The first reference to the church is from the year 1690 and we find it in the book by Fray Jerónimo de la Concepción, in which he talks about Cádiz and its province. From the year 1736, probably coinciding with the name change, there is a correspondence that denounces the poor condition of the building due to the multiple slops existing on the hillside on which the town sits. The severity and danger of collapse is such that in 1947 the building's demolition work was undertaken, with the exception of its bell tower, which fortunately was not in danger of collapsing.
