| About these ratings | ||
During the day this Zona Colonial ruin isn't much to look at. After all, the Monasterio de San Francisco has been steadily crumbling since a 16th century demolition squad and a 17th century earthquake practically decimated it. But your opinion might shift when you see how nighttime floodlights illuminate its cracks and crevices. Definitely swing by for a picture or two if you're in the Zona Colonial in the evening. If you're not already out though, travelers say you shouldn't make a special effort to visit.
