The first stone of the austere Iglesia de San Francisco was laid in 1586, making it Santiago’s oldest surviving colonial building. Its sturdy walls have weathered some powerful earthquakes.
The church, along with the adjacent convent, has the distinction of being the oldest colonial-era building in the country. The church was consecrated in 1622.
