Built in the 18th century, it was the church of the Convent of the Immaculate Conception of the Discalced Carmelites, which is why its facade is austere.

The facade consists of two levels. In the first level, there are a pair of Doric pilasters framing a semicircular arch that serves as the entrance to the temple. Above the entrance, there is a niche with the sculpture of Our Lady of Carmen, flanked by four columns supporting a pediment. It has a balustrade that runs along the upper part, completely surrounding the temple.

The bell tower is 45 meters high, consisting of two levels, and was completed in 1814.  45 m de altura, consta de dos cuerpos y fue concluida en 1814.

The interior of the temple is in the shape of a Latin cross, and its altars are neoclassical in style, although it is known that the original altars from the 18th century were very different.

The Chapel of Anta Teresa stands out, which seems to have been built before the rest of the temple. On its door, there is an inscription dating the foundation of the Church of El Carmen and the Chapel of Santa Teresa to 1737.

Currently, the rooms of the Museum of Fine Arts, one of the most comprehensive cultural venues for paintings and objects from the colonial era, are located in what used to be the convent's facilities.
