Lonely Planet review for Iglesia Museo de Santa Clara

Facing the palace from the west (on Carrera 8) is one of Bogotá’s most richly decorated churches, the Iglesia Museo de Santa Clara, now run by the government as a museum. Considering all the other same-era churches that can be seen for free, many visitors pass on this one, but it is a stunner. Built between 1629 and 1674, the single-nave construction features a barrel vault coated in golden floral motifs looking down over walls entirely covered in paintings (98 not including the closed-off loft, by our count) and statues of saints.
