The church of San Francisco is the oldest colonial church in Bogotá; its construction was completed in 1567. From the outside it may look rather plain, but the interior is of great beauty and richness. It is built in the architectural style of Mudéjar (Spanish-Moorish). The ratable is elaborated in polished wood and its columns are covered in gold following the Flemish style of the time (17th century). The ceiling is beautifully decorated, and the chapel has one of the most magnificent altars of its kind. Fine colonial works by artists Arce y Ceballos and Gaspar de Figueroa adorn the walls.
