The original church was established by Franciscan missionaries in 1578 [1] and was made of wood and nipa; [2] in 1616, a brick structure was built to replace it. [3] The church's facade was made of ladrillo, a kind of rockhard, reddish-brown brick. [4]  

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines declared the Baroque church a national historical landmark in 1979. [1]
