In 1612, a church was built but later destroyed due to the discovery of a rich mine. A few years later, silver and other minerals extracted from this place were exhausting and exploration projects were halted. Gradually, the population declined bringing poverty increased. In 1640, a few people lived on this place. These people, who remained on this place, suffered a terrible invasion by barbarian indians, who came from the north, mounted on horses.
