Templo y Ex Convento de San Lorenzo
The current building dates back to the 17th century and has a facade that boasts a majestic classical Baroque style.Â
It was remodeled during the 18th century and was part of the convent of the same name founded by the Order of Saint Jerome in 1598.
The temple has a single nave and features a two-story entrance. The sculptural ensemble on the facade is of great quality. Inside, the relief of the Annunciation in the high choir stands out.Â
In the last renovation carried out in 1955, additional images and elements were added that were not part of the original construction, many of which were the work of Mathias Goeritz, who contributed abstract elements including colorful stained glass windows.
Remains of the convent structure can be seen, such as a bricked-up archway that is now part of a parking lot and a school.
