Originally constructed in 1555, the parish underwent reconstruction in 1709 due to deterioration. The current Neo-Gothic facade, crafted by Zeferino Gutiérrez in 1880, was inspired by European cathedrals, notably the one in Cologne, Germany.
Inside, the parish houses oil paintings by artists like Juan Rodríguez Juárez. It serves as both a spiritual and cultural gathering place, hosting masses, weddings, and religious festivals.
