Once the church was built in a part of the 13th century monastery of San Pedro el Real. The monastery, which belonged to the Franciscan religious communities to be pretty close to the time and had a great influence in the religious life of the city. It is known that in the 17th century there lived a hundred monks, and most of its prosperity and influence he has achieved in the 18th century. But in the early 19th century, during the advance of Napoleon's troops the monastery was destroyed, and the church of San Francisco miraculously survived.
