The complex contains the Saint Francis church, the convent and a smaller church
known as La Tercera Orden (the Third Franciscan Order). What catches the
attention inside the church is the bas-relief decorated Baroque pulpit and the
silver front of the main altar. Besides these, a short passageway, named
Manguillo de San Francisco, has been added to the complex to separate the church
from what was the first girl school and later a women jail. Today, it has become
a commercial art center known as “Fundo El Fierro” (Iron Ranch). (PromPeru)
