ArchitectureTemplo de San Francisco de Asís (Temple )Guadalajara

On 16 de Septiembre Avenue in the Historic Center is a temple dating from 1580: the Temple of San Francisco de Asis. This church replaced the Franciscan convent founded by Friar Antonio de Segovia in  Analco previously.
The original convent was of adobe, very simple. Where now are the gardens, it  was the atrium of the church.
Over the years suffered several reconstructions and modifications. By the eighteenth century this compound included six chapels, the convent, some orchards and a cemetery, but in the mid nineteenth century it began to divide. In the twentieth century suffered a terrible fire and in the middle of this century was rebuilt as we know it today.
Its baroque facade has three bodies with columns and on each side with statues of San Buena Ventura and San Antonio and above those of Santo Domingo and San Francisco.
