Yet another beautiful church, Iglesia de la Recolecci贸n is worth a look if you're still hungry for more religious imagery after seeing the Cathedral and Iglesia Calvario. The church was subject to an expensive restoration courtesy of the Italian and Spanish governments, and it shows. An impressive yellow facade gives way to a richly decorated interior, with elegant carvings and expressive statues of the stations of the cross. The sculpture of Jesus and God at the front, just to the left of the altar, is particularly intriguing. The church is generally open early in the morning, or after 4:30 p.m.
