Internal view

The current church was built in the second half of the 19th century, under the orders of Bishop Francisco Francisco Escalante y Moreno.

A neoclassical style on the outside, it has a façade and twin towers, as often used since Romanesque architecture[5] throughout the Spanish Empire.[6]

The interior of the temple has beautiful baroque altarpieces from the 18th century, which come from other missions that were abandoned.
