From the expulsion of the Jesuits to the present day
After the departure of the Jesuits, the basilica came under the jurisdiction of the parish of San Nicolás. In 1783 there were attempts to demolish it for the construction of a botanical garden and in 1886 to build a public washhouse. In 1890 it was restored and paved under project by the architect Ángel Goicoechea. In 1891 it was given to the Redemptorists and from 1915-1917, it had to endure new attempts to demolish it, which were stopped by the Monuments Commission of Navarre. However, in 1927, after the construction of the Redemptorist complex and the alignment of the street, it was mutilated in a third of its length. In 1974 it was restored and since 2008 it has served as the chapel of Perpetual Adoration.
