About this place
Several churches stood on this site from the city's founding; the current building was begun in the 18th century, with contributions from architect Joaquín Toesca. It fills the whole west side of Plaza de Armas.
Inside, the wide naves, altars and painted ceiling stand out. It's a working church: visit quietly and outside mass times.
