Ex-Convento de San Francisco Visit


The Ex-Convento de San Francisco is a religious compound built partly with stones from the Tarascan site located just up the hill which the Spanish demolished. Of significance during the colonial period in Mexico, this site is where Franciscan monks began the Spanish missionary effort in Michoacán during the sixteenth century.

Before we got out to the back courtyard where the tables were set up, we toured the inside and got to try some locally made tequila.
