Another fine example of a romantic organ in the final period of the famous organ maker, Cavaillé-Coll, and which has maintained its original state, without having suffered acoustic transformations. It cost 50,000 pesetas.

Charles Carloni, the person mainly responsible at Cavaillé-Coll for most of the organ installations in Spain, directed the installation of this instrument. Particularly interesting is the internal location of the pipes and the machinery of the instrument in a very confined space and the existence of a Trompeta de Batalla that does not figure on the console, being operated by means of a hooked pedal. It was restored in 1973 by Organería Española S.A.

It has three manuals, each with a compass of 56 notes and one pedalboard of 30, with a total of 37 stops.
