AttractionLa Caridad ChurchSan Cristobal de las Casas

La Caridad Church was started in 1712 by the Juanicos (Johannine), establishing it as the first hospital for the indigenous.

Its dome with a lantern and windows allows the light to spill onto the splendid salomonic altarpiece, one of the best in the city, which is dedicated to the Virgin of Charity, declared patroness of the city.

Its main facade is an overlay of the original altarpiece formed by two horizontal bodies, central bell, with Tuscan columns and original design posts derivatives of the Baroque style that developed in Lima, Peru.
