A Larger Church: 1659-1670 / Una iglesia más grande: 1659-1670

Work on the massive walls of this complex began after a new priest, Diego de Santander, was assigned to live here in 1659. Men of this pueblo carved and placed the wooden beams. Women and children mixed mud mortar, laid stones, and plastered walls. The convento rooms to the left were finished by 1670.
