The sanctuary stands where King Ferdinand the Catholic had his camp during the siege of 1487; the Minim friars, who took over the chapel in 1493, built a convent and a church beside it, of which only some remains survive. The present church was built from scratch between 1693 and 1700 and holds the image of the city's patron saint in a Baroque camarín, as well as the crypt of the counts of Buenavista, opened to the public after restoration finished in 2024.
