Church of San Francisco
Iglesia de San Francisco
One of the oldest churches at the northern end of the old town, its red-and-white façade faces the river, and the small park beside it is shaded by trees.
Built at the end of the 16th century, the Church of San Francisco is one of Mompox’s oldest churches. Its reddish-brown and white façade complements the surrounding colonial houses. The small park in front lies close to the riverbank and is ideal for an evening stroll. Inside are colonial-era altars and religious images, but it is usually open only during Mass. It sits on the northern stretch of the riverside promenade, about a 15-minute walk from the Church of Santa Bárbara along the river.
