The Saint Francis of Assisi Church was built in the late seventeenth century, but the fires of 1737 and 1756 brought the work to a close and later with the expulsion of the friars the church was abandoned next to the convent. In 1918 work began that completely changed the facade and style of the church as it is currently seen.
