San Lorenzo is an attractive church next to the central market. Construction started in 1548, but by the middle of the 18th Century it was still not completed. The façade was added in the 1700s, before the church was rebuilt. What visitors now see was mostly built during the 18th century. The architecture is Baroque with Mestizo influences. The church was most recently renovated in 1987.
