The Baroque church that the Jesuits began to build in 1725, with a façade of giant columns of clear Compostelan influence whose design was given by Fernando de Casas Novoa, and the work of Clemente Fernández Sarela. The north tower was finished in 1760; after the expulsion of the Society in 1767 it passed to the Augustinians, and the south tower was not completed until 1906. It has three aisles and a lavishly decorated interior.
