Church of the Immaculate Conception also call (Las Monjas – the Nuns) is not far from the iconic La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel. The church has yellow distinctive dome with statue of the Immaculate Conception sitting on top and bell tower. Zeferino Gutierrez built the church between 1755 and 1891.
A splendid church with a fine altar and several magnificent old oil paintings. Painted on the interior doorway are a number of wise sayings to give pause to those entering the sanctuary. The church was begun in the mid-18th century; its dome, added in the late 19th century by the versatile Zeferino Gutiérrez, was possibly inspired by pictures of Les Invalides in Paris.
