The tombstone of Gonzalo de Vaena (1591) is the oldest dated record of this church.

The church underwent renovation works in 1755 to repair the damage caused by the Lisbon earthquake of that same year. The works were resumed in 1772 and 1778, giving the church its current appearance.

Although it has a core area that is Mudejar, it has undergone multiple renovations, especially in the 18th century, when the choir’s side chapels were added.
