The monastery is thanks to Sancho de Herrera (the Elder), Lord of Lanzarote, who in 1534 commissioned the construction of a monastery of the monks of S. Francisco in the Famara orchard.
When the Algerians ravaged the island in 1618, the monastery was burned down and its jewels were also stolen.

In 1588 Gonzalo Argote ordered the construction of the religious complex, which lasted until 1598. The idea was to be a stately pantheon (a sanctuary dedicated to all gods), but this ultimately prevented its completion. Large parts of the original building were destroyed in 1618 during the 'great invasion'.
