The church began construction in 1603 but was not completed until 1682.
The temple was built by the Augustinians order and included a convent and an orchard.
The main tower, one of the temple's icons, was built in the late 17th century and contrasts with the small masonry tower on the left side, which seems to have been part of the lateral chapel.
It has a facade with two levels. On the left, there are two niche shells flanked by Tuscan-style pilasters with the images of San Agustín and Santa Mónica. On the right, there are the images of San Nicolás and Santa Rita.
Inside, the sacristy door and a Churrigueresque-style sink stand out. The exit of the sacristy is considered one of the most beautiful in the city, as it has a six-sided dome that was not replaced during the transition to Neoclassical style, preserving the dancing angels that make it unique.
