Construction work on the city’s most remarkable neoclassical church was started in 1795 and completed in 1800. The church, entirely built using stone from nearby Churuquella hill, is an imposing sight. It contains a single nave divided into four sections and houses noteworthy paintings by 18th- and 19th-century neoclassical artists. Famous people from the colonial and republican days are buried in the convent’s crypt.
Enjoy a gorgeous panoramic view from the ashlar masonry seats on the church’s roof terrace.
The adjacent María Auxiliadora School provides the entrance.
