Thanks to a document from King Ramiro I (1055), we know that Lecina had a monastry dedicated to San Cucufate, on top of which the current church was erected.

It was constructed in the 16th century, on top of the previous Romanesque church, preserving the southern wall, a christogram (12th century) and the large window in the atrium. It has a rectangular layout and lunette vault, with a large transept covered by a lowered dome, in which paintings of San Benito and San Antonio Abad are preserved in the alcoves. The apse is straight and is decorated with a moulded cornice above pilasters with Corinthian capitals. It also has a bell tower.
