The church exhibits three naves with ornate decorations, giant columns on its facade, and architectural elements influenced by Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
Construction of the church started in 1693 as a Jesuit convent, continuing until 1906, and the Augustinians took over the building in 1774.
