San Francisco Temple
Chihuahua, Mexico
The San Francisco Temple (Templo de San Francisco), also known as the Church of Saint Francis and the Church of San Francisco, is a Roman Catholic church in the city of Chihuahua, in Chihuahua, Mexico. It is recognized as one of the most valuable buildings in the city as one of the few still-existing colonial monuments in the city centre. It is located at 15 Calle Libertad. Even though it is named for St Francis of Assisi (because a previous name of the city of Chihuahua was San Francisco El Cuellar and because it was built and occupied first by the Franciscans), it is now maintained and supported by the Dominicans. Its architecture is typical of Franciscan missions, very simple and serene, and always painted in tones of white in accordance with the Franciscan policy of austerity.
