This monumental work was erected by Bachelor Juan Antonio Pérez Espinosa in 1712. 

The temple has a peculiar legend that tells how, in 1910 at the beginning of the Revolutionary movement, the priests of the church thought of ways to protect the valuable pieces they guarded. It is said that they acquired a bull of approximately one year old, preserved it, and stored their treasure inside it. Although there is no evidence to support this, it is said that during Mass, they kneel in front of a golden calf, a symbol of paganism.

The temple exhibits an indigenous-influenced style. Even when the temple was remodeled in 1712, the façade with its pink quarry stone embellishments, including the conch shell at the top, was preserved. The carved wooden doors at the entrance are original. 

The façade is made of pink quarry stone and features a baroque style with lush floral decorations. 

Inside, a neoclassical style can be appreciated. The walls contain a painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe signed by Miguel Cabrera, an important artist of the 18th century, as well as works depicting scenes from the life of San Felipe Neri.

The organ is in a baroque style, and its white keys are covered with ivory plates, remaining in perfect condition.

A peculiarity of the temple is that the statue of San Martín de Porres is surrounded by various offerings such as ribbons and rosaries for the favors obtained through this highly venerated saint in San Miguel.
