Iglesia de San Francisco de la Montaña, Colonial church in Veraguas Province, Panama.

Iglesia de San Francisco de la Montaña is a Baroque church from 1630 in San Francisco de la Montaña, Veraguas Province. Its modest exterior has a low white-painted bell tower that serves as the main entrance, and two side entrances covered by eaves supported on brick columns. The interior holds several hand-carved altarpieces, including the main altar with 480 pieces.

The church dates from 1630 and was declared a national historic monument by Law 29 of 1937. Law 68 of 1941 declared it a national historic monument again and repealed the 1937 law. A thorough restoration in 2007 dismantled the altarpieces piece by piece.

Inside are hand-carved altarpieces in the Churrigueresque Baroque style, with indigenous influence visible in the carved motifs. The Purísima altarpiece has 192 pieces; those of the Passion, Saint Anthony and the Souls in Purgatory have 120 each. In 2007 the altarpieces were dismantled piece by piece for restoration.

The church stands in the village of San Francisco de la Montaña, in Veraguas Province; the white bell tower doubles as the main entrance, with two side entrances under brick-columned awnings. The 2007 restoration dismantled the altarpieces piece by piece, so some may be seen reassembled or in storage. Ask locally about opening times before travelling.

The main altar is the most intricate of the church's carved retables, assembled from 480 separate pieces. During the 2007 restoration the retables were taken apart piece by piece, including this altar. The carving shows Churrigueresque baroque forms alongside indigenous motifs, a combination found throughout the interior.
