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)
