As the inhabitants of Pedro Muñoz faced advancing wetlands, they had to abandon the old Church of San Antonio.
The Pedroteños (demonym for the residents of Pedro Muñoz) then decided it was necessary to build a new church.
On 8 September 1700, the foundation stone for the present church was laid and work was completed in 1722.

The church is the best representation of Pedro Muñoz's architecture as a whole.
Located in the Plaza de España, it has a graceful style that blends Renaissance with the Baroque.
The floorplan is a Latin cross with shallow townhouses in three corners of the block and a transept nave with a square tower.
Rehabilitation work and mounting a bell tower were done to coincide with the celebration of the third centenary of the groundbreaking, and these upgrades have contributed to enhancing the church's beauty.
