BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE!

I stayed in a district near this district and viewed this beautiful architecture from the outside. This church was hit by an earthquake but has never been restored. Too Bad, because it is gorgeous!

Once beautiful church near Bridge of Sighs

Almost destroyed by an earthquake it is on and off said to be under reconstruction/renovation. It would be wonderful if they would fix it up. The outside is beautiful and sits with wounded grace.

Falling down

This is kinda neat, but in no means a sole destination as it is a building facade as you cannot enter and it is not being used.

In Decay

Such a shame that a once beautiful church has been allowed to decay to such an extent. Hopefully the money will be found at some stage to restore it to it's former glory.

Barranco district beautiful adobe church

This colorful adobe church still shows its glory in the beautiful yellow tone. We visited as part of the day tour to see the Barranco area: Bridge of Sigh, the ocean, plaza, and the park nearby. Beautiful and romantic setting. Great sunset in this area.
