Ruins of the Convent of San Francisco

Ruins of the Convent of San Francisco

Visiting the charming little town of Colonia is highly recommended if you should find yourself in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This city seems to be stuck in another century. Strolling through the streets illustrates this the best, and you can see some historical buildings that are worth a look. An example of this is the ruins of San Francisco's convent, from the 17th century, which is very close to the lighthouse. Photographing them and walking among them can be interesting before approaching the port, near the Plaza.

Ruins of San Francisco Convent

Ruinas del Convento San Francisco

En la encantadora ciudad de Colonia del Sacramento se pueden hacer muchas actividades y ver muchos centros turísticos de la ciudad. Además de todas estos lugares de interés, esta joya uruguaya tiene las ruinas de una de las construcciones más antiguas de la región, es decir las ruinas del Convento San Francisco, que fue construido en la década de 1690 y por un gran incendio ocurrido en el año 1704 quedó destruido en su totalidad, dejando sólo como recuerdo pequeñas paredes destruidas de ladrillo cocido y rocas de tamaños muy grandes. Este convento se encuentra ubicado en La Capilla de la Concepción, en la que se levantó una torre que luego se conoce como el faro de la ciudad. En la actualidad se pueden apreciar algunos de los muros construidos. Y es que en Colonia del Sacramento no sólo se destacan sus paisajes sino también es un lugar lleno de un gran contenido histórico y cultura, que se ha mantenido con el correr de los años.

Excellent
Au pied du phare de la vieille ville, on peut trouver quelques ruines de l'ancien couvent San Francisco détruit par un feu en 1704, soit dix ans à peine après sa construction. Aujourd'hui on peut surtout s'y promener pour trouver le meilleur angle photo sur le phare ou sur la place mayor sur lesquelles elles sont situées.
At the foot of the lighthouse from the old town, you can find some ruins of the former convent of San Francisco destroyed by fire in 1704, ten years after its construction. Today you can walk there especially to find the best angle shot of the lighthouse or the mayor site on which they are located.
