Built in 1930 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first Constitution of Uruguay as a homage to the original members of the General Assembly, this three-sided structure stretches 40 metres up and is flanked by three bronze structures representing Law, Liberty, and Force.

With the church being partly demolished in 1859 to make room for the construction of the Santos-Jundiai railway line, the survival of the statue of Saint Anthony on the altar is considered a miracle – which, in turn, prevented the full demolition of the church.
