It is an 18th century building with a sober Baroque façade. Its construction lasted eight years, starting in 1708 and ending in 1716. He belonged to the Franciscan Order of the Diegans.
The characteristic that makes this temple special is its interior magnificently decorated by the local craftsman Joaquín Orta in 1915, full of diverse floral forms where pink, red and gold colors predominate. The opulent decoration that can be seen on walls, vaults and domes is a combination of the clay sculpture technique of the indigenous tradition with the European plasterwork technique.
In the viceroyal period, the temple was located on the outskirts of Valladolid, as the city of Morelia used to be called, so a pedestrian walkway was ordered to be built to lead directly to the church in 1732, the Calzada de Fray Antonio de San Miguel.
