The original church was established on 30 August 1834.[1] Originally it was a very humble ranch with thatched roof.[2]

The present temple, built in Romanesque Revival style, was consecrated in 1917. The clock is operational since 1930.

Declared a National Monument, this temple is dedicated to saint Fructuosus of Tarragona.[2]
