The church was originally commissioned in 1737, and built in great simplicity alongside the houses belonging to the Fraternity of St. Peter. However the rebuilding of the chucrh was contemplated and to this effect a new authorisation was issued to the Fraternity in 1782 to rebuild and enlarge it. Premission to start work was granted in November of 1880 as soon as the project had received approval by the Lisbon Architects Association. Work began in March 1881 with the demolition of the fraternity´s houses which were located against the main body of the church, to permit the construction of the main facade. Building finished at the beginning of the 20th century although the project was never entirely completed.
