Construction began in 1716 under the maestro mayor Bartolomé de la Cruz Valdés, and the architect Cosme Carreras.

The cupula has spandrels depicting the four Fathers of the Catholic church: saints Augustine, Ambrose, Gregory, and Jerome.

Above among the saints are depicted Santas Quiteria and Librada and the archangels Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel.

The interior has a number of carved wooden polychrome statues mainly by Juan de Gea and Ignacio Castell.

The main retablo was also designed and carved by these artists, and gilded by Francisco and Gregorio Sánchez, with paintings with stories of the New Testament by Bautista Suñer.
