First built in 1578, the church suffered a fire incident and natural disasters in the 17th century, and was rebuilt several times. [1] The current church building was completed in 1700. [2]

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared it a national landmark and installed a historical marker on the church's facade in 1939. [3] [2] The church experienced flooding following the onslaught of Typhoon Usman in late 2018. [4]
