Built in the 16th century as a simple adobe church, it was one of the city's first buildings. 

In 1647, it collapsed, and the construction of the new temple began. This process took 72 years, and it became the main temple of Pachuca for 300 years.

Its facade has two sections: one of them has a choir window and a niche topped by a pediment, while the other is the entrance to the temple with a semicircular arch flanked by two pilasters and a Baroque architrave. On the right side, there is a square bell tower that serves as the base for the demolished and unreconstructed tower.

The temple has a cruciform plan with two ribbed vaults separated by arches.

Originally, the main altarpiece was in the Churrigueresque style and featured 20 carved images. However, in the second half of the 19th century, it was replaced by a sober neoclassical altar.

Attached to the left side is a rectangular chapel with a single nave.
