It is an Augustinian construction dating back to the 16th century.

It belongs to the group of convents that were established near the volcano in the early stages of the region's evangelization.

Not much is known about the early years since the construction appears suspended, and the original open chapel is covered and later abandoned.

In later years, a tower was added, which has been affected by various earthquakes.

It has a spacious atrium and a distinctive facade that shows the enclosed open chapel.

It is said to be the place where the Plan de Ayala was inspired.
