Iglesia San José

TIME : 2016/2/18 15:57:56

Originally constructed in 1751 and used as a jail for indigenous rebels in the late 1800s, this church was rebuilt in 1917 by Franciscan friars. She shows her age, but her baroque gold-leaf altar and arched ceilings are lovely, and she fronts leafy Parque Rubén Darío.
