History


It was built between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries in the so-called baroque mestizo style. Milestones in its history include:



  • In 1548, the Convent of San Francisco was founded along the river Choqueyapu by Fray Francisco de Morales.

  • In August 1549 the construction of the first Church of San Francisco began, which was concluded in 1581.

  • Between 1608 and 1612 the first church collapsed as a result of a snowfall of considerable proportions.

  • Between 1743 and 1744 the construction of the present church began.

  • In 1753, the closure and the roof of the church's dome were completed.

  • On April 23, 1758, it was consecrated.

  • In 1790, the carved façade is finished.

  • In 1885, the construction of its single tower began.

  • In 1948, it was declared a minor basilica.

  • Between 1950 and 1960, the convent was demolished and the atrium reconfigured.

  • Between 1965 and 2005, the church and convent were restored, and part of the convent was enabled as a museum.
