Museo y Convento de Santa Teresa - Historical Building Potosà - Bolivia
The construction of the impressive Santa Teresa convent began in 1685 and construction took six years. The woman who was responsible for establishing the convent now lies in a coffin at the monastery. Supposedly the body is still fully intact, which is considered a miracle by local people, since there were no preservatives used. Santa Teresa is home to galleries with many antiques and sculptures. There are many almost-grotesque statues of Jesus and paintings by local artists, which are all worth a look. A small café and shop are also in the building.
