The windmills date back to the 16th century, although the first documentary references date back to the 19th century. They are horizontal-axis windmills with movable caps, typical of La Mancha.

A single-nave, rectangular Baroque church with a Latin cross floor plan, with a flat apse and a choir stall at the foot. It is built with brick and masonry walls typical of the Toledo construction. The nave is covered with a barrel vault, and the transept has a half-orange dome. At its foot is a two-story granite doorway with a niche containing a stone image of Saint Mary Magdalene, the church's patron saint. The façade is topped with a large triangular pediment and a small bell gable. The bell tower, located on the left side and set back from the main façade, stands out for the height and slenderness of the spire that covers it. The building was rebuilt in the 17th century due to its state of ruin, but its exact origins are unknown, and are sometimes confused with those of the Hermitage of Our Lady of Burguillos. The sad events of 1936 led to the destruction of all the altarpieces and ornaments in the church. The church was dominated by a large canvas (8.60 x 4.31 meters), painted in oil by Francisco Rizi in 1675, depicting Saint Mary Magdalene, the parish's patron saint, surrounded by angels, clouds, and glory. The painting was housed in a large, gilded, Baroque-style altarpiece that served as a gigantic frame.

It is not one of the countless people venerated as saints, but God himself, under whose patronage this shrine has been placed, namely in the person of the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ. However, it is often customary not to name the church directly after "Jesus Christ," but to use one of the special titles with which the Son of God has been honored throughout the two-thousand-year history of Christianity. Thus, we often encounter "San Salvatore," sometimes the sorrow-suffering "Ecco homo," also "Good Shepherd," "Immanuel," "Resurrection of Christ," or—as here—the crucified Christ as patron saint.
