It was hit by the earthquake of 1531 and later destroyed by the earthquake of 1755. In 1765 work began on construction of the new church which was completed in seven years. In 1989, the church was loaned to the City Council to be adapted to cultural function. Today it houses a bookshop called the Grande Livraria de Santiago.
