Iglesia de San Agustín, Bogotá, Colonial church in La Candelaria, Colombia
The San Agustin Church features a three-nave basilica layout with Tuscan columns and semi-circular arched windows on its main facade.
The construction of this religious building began in 1642 and took 26 years to complete, following the architectural standards of the Spanish colonial period.
The interior holds baroque altarpieces covered in gold leaf, along with sculptures and paintings depicting scenes from Jesus's life and Augustinian Order figures.
The church stands at the intersection of Carrera 7 and Calle 7, behind the Presidential Palace, in the historical center of Bogota.
The building contains an elliptical false vault ceiling, which represents a particular architectural element not found in other regional churches.
