It was established thanks to the Franciscans at the end of the seventeenth century in 1692, which marks their arrival in the city. It is located in the center of the city and is considered one of the most beautiful in Mexico.[citation needed]
It is known for its details in Baroque and Neoclassical styles as well as the chapels annexed to the building, constructed in the eighteenth century.
