A church with beautiful twisted columns and a Baroque façade, the former convent houses a fountain 27 m in diameter.

This splendid church, inaugurated in 1767, with its characteristic yellow color, can be seen from a distance, even before passing under the Arco de Santa Catalina. Admire its beautiful twisted columns and its magnificent Baroque façade, which show the masterly ornamental work of a stucco artist. Next to the building is the old convent, which is open to visitors. In addition to its maze of corridors, it houses a fountain with a diameter of 27 meters, one of the largest in the city.

Bel endroit
Très belle façade jaune avec statues blanches à ne pas manquer et qui a résisté en partie aux séismes.
L'intérieur vaut le détour.
Il est possible en payant de visiter les parties detruites.

C'est sa façade remarquable de jaune et de blanc qui vous frappera! style espagnol et assez majestueuse, c'est du massif et imposant, ne pas manquer de visiter son intérieur et ses chapelle colorées. souvent beaucoup de croyants à cet endroit qui rendra l'atmosphère incroyable.

Architecture extérieure magnifique, marché typique sur la place ou l'on peut déguster des produits locaux. Pour les rameaux, beaucoup de marchands d'offrandes artisanales devant le parvis de l'église.
