Iglesia de San Francisco, Cali, Colonial religious complex in central Cali, Colombia
The complex includes a neoclassical church, the Mudejar Tower, the Chapel of the Immaculate, and the Convent of San Joaquin, forming a substantial religious center.
Franciscan missionaries initiated the construction in 1757, completing the chapel and convent by 1764, with Father Fernando Larrea serving as guardian until 1773.
The church interior displays baroque elements, including a central altar adorned with statues of Saint Francis and religious figures important to local devotees.
Located at the intersection of Carrera 6 and Calle 10, the religious complex remains open for visits and serves the community through regular services.
The adjacent Mudejar Tower, constructed in the 18th century, represents one of Colombia's finest examples of brick bell tower architecture.
