It was reconstructed in the vicinity of 1782 and 1815 in Guatemala, after which the finishing of the towers and blue arch took 50 years.

The inside mirrors the type of the Latin cross with five saves and two fundamental hallowed places. Along the focal nave sit fourteen works of art by seventeenth-century Mexican craftsman Pedro Ramirez, alongside statues of holy people, for example, Saint Fernando King of Spain and San Louis King of France safeguarded alongside sacrificial tables from the first church in Antigua. The 12 columns specifically before the house of God, serve as a tribute to the killings and vanishings of thousands of individuals amid the common war between 1960-1966.
