Church and convent La Recolección 1320

Built between 1701 and 1715, the Church and convent La Recolección was severely damaged in 1717, the same year it was inaugurated. The earthquake of 1773 finished with the construction and it has lain in ruins ever since.

I like all the life in front of the ruins, which make a nice background for the brilliant colors on sale!

Must have been beautiful, and because of that it is downright scary (as a sign of almost
inevitable destruction).
It's very strange, then, to see all the tourist wares covering the front area of this ruin.

How sad.
