When the Jesuits arrived in 1626 they converted the Gothic building into a single chapel with baroque influences. Following the dissolution of the Jesuit Order in 1777, the site's religious affiliation was tenuous as it became a factory for church organs. While under private ownership much of the building's beauty and integrity were lost. Its open lower spaces are now full of dirt and vegetation. The chapel is roofless and much of its interior has been destroyed.
Local officials wish to convert the chapel into a center interpreting the city's history.
This could be an ideal training project for local architects and preservationists.
