Convent of Santa Clara Description
(Local Name: Convento de Santa Clara) The convent of Santa Clara was founded 1699 by five nuns from Puebla, Mexico. What remains of Santa Clara takes its present shape from a 1734 reconstruction. The church offers a beautiful baroque façade and a two-tiered arcade surrounding a central patio and garden. Outside, native women come to do their wash; spreading their clothes on the lawn to dry.
