Begun in the 18th century, it is a fine example of Galician Baroque. Its architects and master builders used the most characteristic materials and features of the style throughout the different stages of construction. Little remains of the building of 1716–1718: in the 1770s, when the main chapel was remodelled, the original walls had to be raised and the sacristy was built at the same time. This is the interior we see today. The last part of the church dates from 19th-century alterations, when the façade was built, enriching the building with pilasters decorated with panels and pinnacles that lighten the walls. The paintings on the vaults and dome, and the tower, follow a type common in the first half of the century, modelled on Baroque bell towers.
