[3] The full name of this historical city is Natá de Los Caballeros, where Natá is commemorating local cacique Anata and "Los Caballeros", 100 Spanish knights quartered in the city.

The church was thought to be built when Spanish invaders originally came through Central America conquering the Native Indian tribes.

The church is used by residents of Natá every day for Catholic mass and festivals for the town.
