Torre Mudéjar & San Francisco Church
Torre Mudéjar
18th-century brick Mudéjar bell tower, considered one of Latin America’s finest Mudéjar buildings, attached to the Church of San Francisco.
The Mudéjar Tower was built around 1772 as the bell tower of the San Francisco monastery complex. Built in red brick with geometric patterns and arched decoration, it reflects the Mudéjar style, which derives from Spanish Islamic craftsmanship and is very rare in Latin America. Beside the tower are the Immaculate Conception chapel and the 19th-century Church of San Francisco, and a small square in front is good for panoramic photos. It is located downtown and can be combined on foot with Plaza de Cayzedo and La Merced. Usually only the exterior can be viewed.
