Information
Built by the Dominican Friars in 1546, the Iglesia Ex Convento de Santo Domingo is one of the most important Baroque works in the region. Its facade, fully restored in 2006, is considered one of the most richly ornamented representations of the colonial Baroque style in all of Latin America.
The interior of the church houses a striking pulpit, carved in golden wood with a one piece pedestal, as well as a beautiful collection of eight wooden baroque altarpieces made between the 16th and 17th centuries, some adorned with well-preserved paintings and sculptures of quilt wood and polychrome, of the Virgin of the Rosary and Holy Trinity.
Festival Day: August 4.
