Iglesia y Convento San Francisco, Franciscan church and convent in San Salvador de Jujuy, Argentina.

The Iglesia y Convento San Francisco is a neoclassical church in San Salvador de Jujuy. It has a Latin-cross plan, an octagonal dome and a bell tower with Corinthian columns. Inside, seven Carrara marble altars hold paintings and religious images from earlier structures on the site.

Franciscan friars founded the first settlement here in 1599 with a modest chapel. The building was rebuilt several times over the following centuries, culminating in the current structure built between 1925 and 1928.

The Sacred Art Museum displays religious objects collected from different periods that show the area's long connection to faith and worship. Visitors can see how these pieces shaped devotional practices in the region over time.

The church stands at Lavalle 325, a few blocks from the main plaza. It remains an active parish and school, so visits are best timed outside morning and evening services. Modest dress is expected; the museum entrance is separate from the church door.

The Sacred Art Museum was established in 1994 and moved to its current location in 2008, displaying a wooden statue of Saint Francis from the 17th century that originated in Cuzco. This carved figure is among the oldest and most valued pieces in the collection.
