Temple of San Francisco

A major 18th-century church just off the Jardín, part of the former Franciscan convent complex. Construction began around 1778 and took more than 20 years.

Its most striking feature is the contrast between the elaborate Churrigueresque stone façade and the later Neoclassical bell tower, attributed to the celebrated architect Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras. The transition between the two is worth a closer look.
