All proclaimed one will be founded on behalf of the Royal Majesty; after Friar accompanied by the villagers planted a simple cross to secure the site of the future church, traced to string the rectangle of the square, he outlined the four first streets and distributed the twelve first solar until April 1729 when, during the visit of Bishop Juan José Calatayud, as such was built between 1754 and 1790 to slow its construction.
