This building was designed by the Porriñés architect Antonio Palacios Ramilo, author of works such as the Palacio de Comunicaciones or the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid . Its construction took place between 1932 and 1937.

The granite building was inspired by the 7th century Visigothic arch near the temple, one of the few examples of Germanic architecture in Galicia . The church, despite its origin, has Gothic winks, Muslim influence and modernist touches, but always trying to capture Galician art and with the aim of offering this work to all the people of the sea.
