San Diego Convent was a peaceful place and belonged to the Franciscan order. Hanging on the walls are beautiful linens with allegories about Jesus ChristÍs Passion, MariaÍs assumption and life of saints and others who lived in poverty as San Francisco de Asis and Diego de Alcala, employees of the convent. There are pieces of interest, such as the pulpit of the church, a representation of the Baroque Style; the crucifix, which was Father AlmeidaÍs way to leave the convent to fulfill his bohemian life. In the art gallery of the church, you can appreciate allegoric linens about San Francisco de AsisÍs life, with Andrade SanchezÍs signature.
