Casa de las Artes

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:37:31

One of many beautifully restored buildings on this atmospheric street, this cultural center showcases small but well-curated temporary exhibitions. In addition, the finely wrought polychromatic miniatures of 18th-century master sculptor Toribio Ávila, whose work also adorns the sacristy of the Church of San Francisco, are sometimes on display. (Ávila lived briefly on La Ronda, at No 158, in the late 1700s.)
