The church was built in the 18th century and features elaborate Baroque carvings in its plastered, cream-colored exterior. Its interior consists of an ornate altar, a holy water font carved with a resemblance to a gargoyle, an old painting of the Final Judgement made by artisans from neighboring Paete, and folksy, vibrant ceiling frescoes inspired by Sistine Chapel and the town's devotion to Our Lady of Turumba, a venerated painting of the Virgin Mary that washed up in the town. The second floor of the adjacent convent houses the Turumba image itself, while the ground floor contains a museum about the Turumba and a souvenir store.
