Overlooking the zócalo from its high platform, this church is notable for its large cedar doors and quartet of indoor canvases by a Jalisco artist. Begun in 1570 by the Franciscans, it was added to in stages over the subsequent centuries; the bell tower wasn’t completed until 1875.
Outside stands a 30m-high voladores (fliers) pole. Ritualistic performances normally take place every two hours between 11am and 7pm Monday to Saturday. During low season (October to April), performances can be seen at 9am, noon, 4pm and 7pm Friday to Sunday.
