The interior decoration is called folk or indigenous Baroque. The church was initially built in the 16th century and developed over four phases until the 19th century. At the end of the 17th century, it had its basic layout, cupola, sacristy and main altar. At this time, its intricate stucco work was begun inside and on the apse. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the details included pre-Hispanic elements such as dark-skinned angels, others with blond hair and blue eyes, niches with headdresses, tropical fruits and ears of corn.
