Convento San Bernado

History, Culture

By Suzanne Russo

The beautiful 16th century colonial building evolved from hermitage to hospital to convent, and today it is still home to Carmelite nuns. Though closed to the public, it’s worth a visit to check out the lovely architecture, including the elaborate algarrobo wood door, carved in the 18th century. There is also a tiny gift shop, and those determined to see inside can go for mass, when the chapel opens.
