An immense legacy waiting to be discovered

San Francisco Conventual Church

This building underwent several renovations during the first half of the 18th century that proved insufficient. In the century’s middle years, the chapel was demolished and rebuilt, leading to the loss of any information about previous interventions. The construction of the new Church began in 1752 with donations from institutions and individuals. It was completed in 1758. 

The three-nave temple is covered by barrel vaults except for the transept that has a dome. The semi-circular arches are supported rectangular pillars. 

It houses several altarpieces with sculptures from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.
