Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas

Museo Convento San Francisco y Catacumbas is a significant historical site comprised of a beautifully preserved Franciscan convent and a network of catacombs. Founded in the 16th century, the convent showcases colonial architecture and religious art. Beneath the church lie the catacombs, which served as a burial ground for approximately 25,000 individuals who lacked the means for traditional interment. The site provides a unique and moving experience, blending artistic beauty with a poignant reminder of mortality. Guided tours are required for access to both the convent and the catacombs.
