A very photogenic church with a beautifully decorated interior, a 53-metre high bell tower and a high tower

The church, very photogenic thanks to its red and ochre colours, appears on all the town's tourist brochures. Built at the end of the 18th century on the site of a sanctuary destroyed by fire, it underwent its last transformation in 1870, when the architect Luis Giorgi erected the tower that now accompanies the building. Its bell tower rises to 53 m, which gives the title of the highest tower in Latin America to that of the Church of San Francisco. Depending on taste, the interior is beautifully decorated, or too crowded!

Très belle église qui vaut le détour. Il faut la voir aussi le soir car elle est bien illuminée. A l'intérieur il y a une très belle image du Christ crucifié suspendue au plafond. Malheureusement la tour extérieure était couverte d’échafaudages lorsque j'y suis allé.
