The church of San José is the parish church of the Tormos neighborhood, a town belonging to the municipality of Alcalá de Gurrea, built to house the workers of the Sotonera dam and reservoir. The church, inaugurated in 1926, has a rectangular plan and a polygonal head facing southwest. The free-standing bell tower is separate from the main building and is built of brick. Its construction does not correspond to a defined style, and mixes different styles, with the Romanesque predominating.

Located on the Gállego River, the Ardisa reservoir is shared by the municipalities of Ardisa and Biscarrués. However, both most of the layout of the dam and all the buildings reviewed are located in the municipality of Biscarrués, which is why they have been included in the catalog of this municipality. The reservoir has an area of 2100 km2, with a total capacity of 5 Hm3 and a useful capacity of 3 Hm3. The dam is made of cyclopean concrete. It presents the type of gravity dam, with a height of 31.14 m and a crest length of 450 m. It has a curved layout and a front arranged in a stepped slope. On the right bank there is a large trapezoidal tank delimited by concrete walls (called a "surface spillway" in the reservoir project) which, through a four-span spillway, connects to a long drainage channel arranged in slope that flows into the river Gállego. The set also consists of several buildings, all of them located on the left bank of the river: the gate house, through which the discharge to the canal that leads water to the Sotonera reservoir is regulated, the dam guard's house , a warehouse and a water tank.

The Parish Church of San José was inaugurated in 1926, in the so-called Church neighborhood. Its dedication to San José Obrero Obrero is defined because Tormos was destined to house the workers of the La Sotonera dam and their families. It is mainly characterized by the separation between the temple and the bell tower, reminiscent of the Italian custom in the construction of this type of buildings. It consists of a single nave with three sections and a polygonal main chapel and its façade, completely whitewashed, is decorated with a gable. It still stands today, presiding over with its beauty the remains of what was Tormos in its greatest moment of splendor.
