On May 6th, 1660 was laid the first stone of the construction by the Bishop Fray Marcos Ramíres del Prado. The construction was led by Vicenzo Barrochio until his death in 1692, so the great architect couldn’t see his monumental work finished. However, only 52 years after the death of the maestro, his students achieved to finish the titanic architectonical task, so the magnificent work was concluded in 1744.
