Its construction was finalized until 1657. Its history is parallel to that of other buildings in Antigua, as the temple suffered considerable damage due to a strong earthquake in 1717, and the fruits of its reconstruction were again damaged by earthquakes in 1751 and 1773. What was left was used for other purposes, such as a stable and, finally, the remnants of the roof collapsed, leaving in its ruins a vague memory of what it once was.
