Description
Within the ex-convent the most outstanding is the facade, which only
reminds us to see her ministry to the churches of the sixteenth century
in Florence. It also comes in light of the high plain wall, the bell
tower with spire of the sixteenth century. The ex is almost in ruins, a
test of the above is at the foot of the cloister which is why there are
frescoes, among them is the Annunciation, whose sides pose the figures
of a jaguar and an eagle worked in Prehispanic are also the holy
writings of theologians from the Catholic Church and interesting
sentences that are listed as such notables.
