Convento de San Francisco, Franciscan friary in Santa Fe, Argentina.
The San Francisco Convent features a single-nave church with wooden ceilings assembled without nails and walls built using rammed earth construction techniques.
Franciscan friars established this religious complex in 1673, completing the main church building by 1688 while continuing work on the surrounding cloisters.
The convent houses significant religious artifacts, including a baroque Christ statue donated by Queen Mariana of Austria in 1653.
The convent stands near Plaza de las Tres Culturas, adjacent to the Juan de Garay and Estanislao Lopez museums in central Santa Fe.
In 1825, a jaguar entered the convent through a window during a flood, causing a tragic incident that left marks on an ancient table.
