The Convent of San Francisco was founded in 1566 and rebuilt at the end of the 17th century. The monastic buildings, considerably reduced after the confiscation of church property , are organized around the rectangular Mannerist cloister, supported by Doric columns on the first level and Ionic columns in the upper gallery.The church, rectangular in plan, has a single nave, to which a series of chapels have been added, giving it the false appearance of a three-aisled temple. The chapels of Veracruz, the Tabernacle, San Diego, San Andrés, San Telmo, and San Luis de los Franceses stand out for their artistic and historical significance. The exterior is notable for its drum and side pediment, the latter dating from the mid-18th century and framed by Corinthian pilasters, topped by a niche containing a marble image of Saint Anthony. The tower, separate from the church building, dates from 1669 and has a square base crowned by an octagonal belfry.
