Iglesia y Convento San Francisco, Franciscan church and convent in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina.
The church features a neoclassical design with a Latin cross layout, an octagonal dome, and a tower decorated with Corinthian columns.
The initial Franciscan settlement began in 1599 with a simple chapel, leading to multiple reconstructions until the current structure was built between 1925 and 1928.
The Sacred Art Museum, established in 1994 and relocated in 2008, displays religious artifacts including a 17th-century wooden statue of Saint Francis from Cuzco.
Located at Lavalle 325 in San Salvador de Jujuy, the complex maintains its function as a church, convent, and educational institution.
Seven altars made of Carrara marble inside the church preserve historical paintings and images from previous religious structures.
