| Built between 1557 and 1621, the Church of San Francisco situated near the Gold Museum is Bogota`s oldest surviving church, dedicated to St Francis of Assisi. In the atmospherically dark interior, with its extravagant pews and steady trickle of praying pilgrims, the eye is immediately drawn to the gilded, U-shaped 17th-century altarpiece, the largest and most elaborate of its kind in the capital. Bogota, Colombia, South America |
