Lonely Planet review

The magenta-and-yellow Iglesia San Francisco is Salta's most striking landmark. The exuberant facade is topped by a slender tower; inside, the single nave is ornately painted to resemble stucco-work. There are several much-venerated images here, including the Niño Jesús de Aracoeli, a rather spooky crowned figure. There's a lovely garden cloister, accessed via guided tour (runs on demand in Spanish; donation appropriate) that takes in a mediocre museum of religious art and treasures.
