The sinister looking ruins have become interestingly inviting since being converted to a public garden area. The ruin site dates back to 1575. This parish and each attempt to rebuild subsequent churches were destroyed by earthquakes. The final attempt was in 1910, when a devastating earthquake destroyed its foundations. After so many failed completion attempts, the church was considered to be cursed and kept in its current unfinished state. Located just down the street from the Basilica, it’s easy to combine the two stops into a single visit.

This is an historical place to visit, located in the downtown. It was created in the XIX century. This a place that you have to visit.
