The construction of the current church begin in 1843.^[1]

The church is built in the Neoclassical style with Tuscan influence. The main facade features three round arched entrances, one per each nave, and is decorated with Ionic pilasters on pedestal. The pilasters are topped by a triangular pediment, which in turn is topped by a volute ornamented parapet with cup-shaped finials.^[1]
