Building:
Antiguo Colegio de la Compañía de Jesús
Jesuit's expelled in 1767, textile factory in 1985 used to dry coffee. In 1912 the market was moved to this location from the park. In 1976 the building was severity damaged from the earthquakes and the market was again moved. The cobble stone streets are all but easy to travel, but so eclectic. The City Government filed papers to use it as a cultural center in '94. Movies, lectures and conferences held here today. My favorite part of learning everything about this building was that 7 years ago when I embarked on a self-finding journey after my divorce, I found a 1985 (birth year) US penny right out front and one of my favorite restaurants is directly across the street now with a golden view. Had the pleasure of enjoying this beautiful gem again this month. ❤️
is by far a beautiful place. Just watch your pocket book. :-)
