Ruins of the 17th century Convent of San Francisco, it's now the house of numerous pigeons.
Beautiful photos, but I'd love to get some more context on them. What am I looking at here? What is the history behind these buildings?
You are right, i should take my time and talk about the trip and the city. I'll edit it to be more informative. Thanks for the review
