The evangelist church began its activity in Ares in 1916, when the cemetery was opened with the money raised by the evangelist residents in Ares and by emigrants in Cuba. This was a response to non-Catholics being refused burial in the local cemetery. It was separated from the Catholic cemetery by a wall. During the Civil War, the burial grounds of the cemetery were used for executions and many of the dead were buried in mass graves. From an architectural point of view, its artistic porch stands out.
