The original church, constructed in 1543 was damaged in an earthquake and was rebuilt in the 17th century.
Destroyed twice by earthquakes, this 1548 church was rebuilt in the 1700s to withstand earthquakes and boasts a lovely yellow façade and a huge stone fountain, reputed to be the largest in Central America.
One of many ruined churches in the city, this multi-domed church is often visited by pilgrims seeking answers to their prayers from Friar Hermano Pedro, the beatified 17th-century monk buried inside.
Designed by architect Diego de Porres, this city hall building now houses the Museo de Santiago and Museo del Libro.
