St. Francis Church

It is the oldest church in Bogota. It all began with the arrival of the fathers of the Franciscan Order to the New Kingdom of Granada in 1550. The first site was located on Carrera Séptima under the name of Parroquia de las Nieves; later, it was moved to the site now occupied by the church of San Agustín. Finally, in 1557, the temple was moved to its current location, to the houses donated by Archbishop Fray Juan de los Barrios. With faith and effort they were able to build the convent that comprised two blocks.
