It has a rectangular floor plan, two stories high with bright windows and built in brick. It has Doric columns at the bottom and Ionic columns at the top. In its church is the Virgen del Tránsito, it is one of the best known and most revered in the diocese. It represents the moment of the Assumption, the ascent of Mary to Heaven.
