The church had been erected on the Colcampata hill, an old cultivation terrace that houses a set of Incan niches with fine finishes. It is a modest construction made of adobe and stone. According to the researches of H. Vidal, the work was made due to the initiative of Cristóbal Paullo, member of the Incan nobility and owner of the Colcampata lands. The first church dates of 1560. The subsequent construction of the XVII century was sponsored by the Bishop Mollinedo, whose coat is positioned over the lintel of the belfry’s entrance door.
