A rather lovely church somehow amazingly peaceful inside given its noisy city center location. The church looks like it has had a partial Baroque-style refurbishment at some point in time. This works beautifully with the extremely large guided altarpiece which dominates the space.

Excelente lugar lleno de historia y paz, un bello lugar donde puedes rezar, meditar. Ser un ser de paz. La historia, su arquitectura y el hecho de entrar al pasado y sentirte parte de esa comunidad católica a la que pertenecemos la mayoría de los latinoamericanos. Pasen un buen momento ahí. Agradezcan el hecho de poderla visitar, ya que vale la pena a pesar de su tamaño pequeño.
