Many mysteries remain about the construction of the current church. It is known that the church is built about one and a half miles south of the first church location. Among the few facts known is that the current structure was built in 1783 with a 7,000 peso loan. However, the questions far outnumber the known answers. For instance, the east tower was never completed.
Several theories exist about why it was left unfinished.
It is not known if the church's 7,000 peso loan was not enough, or if the priests decided not to finish it so that no taxes would have to be paid. Another theory says that a worker was killed during construction and no one else could be convinced to go up. It is interesting that such a beautiful structure has no record of the architect, builders or artists responsible for creating it. It has been determined that no less than three artists painted the artwork inside the church. Almost every available space inside has a painting or sculpture.
