The Jesuits later arrived in 1592 at the invitation of the encomendero Esteban Rodriguez de Figueroa, establishing the first school and dormitory that offered religious and academic instruction to local children.

Built in the Churrigueresque style—an ornate Spanish architectural trend of the 18th century—the church features a plain front wall, with an explosion of intricate stone carvings along the middle section.

The facade is bordered by a simple pediment and thick pillars on either side, with bell towers made of concrete that are crowned with cupolas and crosses.

The pediment displays an elaborate finial with loudspeakers and a cross, and it is adorned with an emblem decorated with tassels and foliage in high relief.

The church’s stone wall is rich in detailed carvings, including the bust of a putto, which serves as an ornamental capstone above the arched entryway.
