The first church was built in 1586. The 1647 Santiago earthquake destroyed that church and the 1730 Valparaíso earthquake destroyed the rebuilt church.[1] The present structure began to be built in 1806 after the demolition of the third church building. Its construction lasted several decades and was inaugurated in 1854 despite being unfinished.[1]
The church was designed with a Latin cross plan.[2] The front facade features eight Doric columns.[2] A three-stage tower rises from the southernmost ridge line, which runs parallel the front facade.
