8Iglesia El Rosario
It may be found right in the center of the Historic Center. This church's architecture is entirely distinct from the style often used to create catholic buildings. This church is a treasure of the city's historic district. From 1964 to 1971, a total of 7 years were spent creating its one-of-a-kind structure. Some people may not find the design to be very stunning from the outside, but once inside, we can appreciate its 22-meter-high ceiling and beautiful, big windows. Inside the church, we see many wrought iron works of art. The wrought iron used in the works were originally firearms used in the Civil War. After the Peace Accords, these weapons were melted down and used to decorate the church artistically and to re-signify the use of these weapons. **The church is closed on Sundays
