It is built on the river Cerezuelo, which made it necessary to channel it previously, entering a large vault under the main altar, crossing the entire church, to continue its course under the Plaza de Santa María.
Due to the great storms and floods of 1694, the works on this sanctuary were not completed, so the project was never completed.

Work began in the 16th century, probably under the direction of the Renaissance architect Andrés de Vandelvira, although it was never fully completed.
It was built over the Cerezuelo River, which necessitated channeling the river beneath the church through a large vault.
