They enabled a room that was attended by a clergyman to lead the mass, this was the provisional temple. A few years passed the Bishop undertook to build a new temple and finally it was in the 1920s when the church works began in what is now known as Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Rosario.

Years later this small chapel was replaced by a larger one, already with the intention of converting it into the temple that remains today. It was sent to build by Jean de Bethencorut and Jean Le Maçon (literally Juan the Bricklayer) was commissioned to execute the work that was built following the canons of the French Gothic style of the fifteenth century.

In 1593 the church came to be destroyed by the Berber pirates who destroyed the town of Betancuria after being captained by the corsair Xabán Arráez. This contingent of more than 200 pirates looted all valuable items and left the area desolate.

In the 16th century, the reconstruction works of the temple began, but they did not finish until the last decade of the 17th century. During this reconstruction Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance and Baroque elements were added.
