  1. A

    Capilla del Sagrario

    The Sagrario Chapel, on the same side of the plaza as the Catedral Primada, was built in the second half of the 17th century and has preserved its mannerist-baroque facade, which is considered to be one of the best examples of arquitectura santafereña. The chapel boasts a Mudejar vault and six large paintings by Gregorio Vásquez.

    Iglesia de la Veracruz

    Just north along Carrera 7 is this interesting church. The Iglesia de la Veracruz is known as the National Pantheon because many of the heroes of the struggle for independence have been buried here.
