The church belonged to the Jesuits until they were expelled from Portugal in 1759. Work commenced in 1598, but the church was only consecrated in 1640.
The facade shows 2 distinct phases of style and construction. The interior is in the shape of a Latin cross; it has semi-circular vaulting, with a cupola over the transept and pulpits near the centre of the church, typical of Counter-Reformation style.
