This church with its single nave surrounded by chapels owes its name to the whitewash (albade) in which its walls were originally covered. When it was restored the white colour of past years gave way to the red of the bricks that are the city's characteristic building material.

The tympanum over the main door boasts a ceramic reproduction, dating from 1874 and the work of Gaston Virebent, of Fra Angelico's Coronation of the Virgin.
