The convent the Dominicans began to build in late 1645 beside the walls, to house the friars who crossed the Atlantic. The church, begun on 21 June 1652, was finished by Luis de Lojo in 1666; in the mid-18th century it was remodelled with plasterwork, and after the fires of 1931 and 1936 it was restored between 1945 and 1948. It keeps altarpieces of Genoese marble, such as the high altar by the Andreoli (1683 to 1691), and its main doorway dates from the mid-20th century.
