The church is situated in between the churches of San Francisco and La Tercera. Its facade is quite modest and its interior sober; however, the retables and the altar are decorated in fine mudéjar (Spanish-Moorish) style. One of the main points of interest in this church is the image of the Señor de la Buena Esperanza, which attracts many worshipers and has been in the church since colonial times. The other notable feature is the fact that many of the national heroes executed during the struggle for independence are buried here.

Visiting hours are limited, as it only opens to officiate mass three times a day.
