The building has three open façades (main and side) and a partially attached rear façade. The floor plan of the church consists of a single main nave divided into five sections with side chapels, a transept and a pentagonal apse with the bell tower attached to its eastern side. The nave is covered with a ribbed vault. The choir is located above the first section. The baldachin of the main altar is the work of Bonaventura Bassegoda, dating from 1943.

The baptistery and the staircase leading to the choir complete the overall layout. The side façade on Carrer de Sant Vicenç contains the bell tower, which is about 30 metres high and has three square sections with a pyramidal top, a walled-up side entrance and three of the six ogival openings framed by stained glass windows installed in 1907 and made in Barcelona in the workshop of Mr and Mrs Giralt and Granell.

The main façade reproduces a traditional composition in neo-Gothic architecture with a symmetrical arrangement of its elements: the plinth and main staircase in natural stone, the main doorway with an archivolt with natural stone columns, a tympanum with a sculptural ensemble (1927), a natural stone lintel and main door with applications (1895), the pilasters and symmetrical pinnacles on either side of the door, the brick finials and cornices for cladding, and the natural stone cross that crowns the building (1895).

The side façade on Trinitat Street, apart from the ogival windows, has an opening topped with a semicircular arch that corresponds to the interior space of the baptistery and a side entrance with a wrought-iron door, currently in disuse. Partially attached to this elevation is the general entrance and main vestibule of the parish building designed in 1992.

The history of the church of La Soledat is linked to the evolution of the street of the same name. It originated as a chapel documented in the 17th century, built at the foot of the Camí Ral and consecrated in 1666. Construction outside the city walls had intensified considerably, so much so that in the 1765 land registry we find that approximately half of the houses in the town of Igualada were built outside the walls; the latter would form the current 18th-century neighbourhood of La Soledat. It was mainly due to this economic and demographic expansion that the original chapel of the Virgin of Solitude was enlarged between 1786 and 1788. During this period, urban expansion had given rise to the new streets of Sant Isidre, Sant Pere Màrtir, Sant Agustí and Soledat, which accentuated the elongated shape typical of Igualada's urban layout, in keeping with the characteristic alignment of the buildings on both sides of the old royal road that ran through the town. The church of La Soledat became a parish church in 1877. During the Spanish Civil War, the temple was looted and abandoned and turned into a garage. After the conflict, reconstruction began under the architect Bonaventura Bassegoda, and it reopened in 1944. In 1992, a new parish building was constructed adjacent to the parish church.
