Ex Franciscan ConventFounded in 1562 by Franciscan friars, this convent is one of the oldest in the Americas and the only one of the early foundations still in operation. Its stone walls, austere architecture, and serene atmosphere transport visitors back to the first years of evangelization in the region. Walking through it feels like stepping into the past, appreciating the roots that shaped the city’s spiritual and cultural identity.
