Identified as the state of the art construction , this highly adorned church completed in 1799 and was originally associated with St. Anthony, the patron of lost causes..identified with Spanish Baroque “”decorative style”” the outside of this church is visually striking..neoclassical structure..as a contrast, the inside of the Church of San Francisco has a more simple design..the courtyard offers seating opportunities and activities seem to be regularly present..on the west side of this square is the Iglesias de San Francisco with a bell tower in a faded white format..

This 17th-century church was built only after a protracted struggle to gain the land where a church built by Indians had previously stood.

For me, this Church dominates the area near the Plaza Civica and the east end of Calle Insurgentes..It is described as a domed baroque structure built in the 18th century..as one enters the oil paintings, the brilliant dome view invites much further exploration and a longer reflection of the beauty that is present..the squares just outside the church offer a variety of food opportunities... there are many times when street musicians, jugglers and other entertainment is present..there are many places to sit and take in this wonderful atmosphere...
