Finished in 1774, Giumbal's ornate church is built of yellowish limestones with artistic rosette carvings. It is not that capacious compared to other churches in the region, but it was finely decorated. The architectural design imposed by the twinned pillars and the plain finials is Neoclassic but the light and flying effects of the ornate rosettes give the edifice an unusual baroque touch. The four-levelled belfry of Guimbal is of unknown architectural design; however, the presence of the small yet detailed archwindows exudes a neoclassic control. The fourth level of the belfry, may not fall in the Gothic lines but more probably in the Moorish sense of art.
