Lonely Planet review for Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís el Nuevo

Still in the throes of a lengthy restoration, this unique church near Plaza Vieja was once known as the Iglesia de San Agustín. Built in 1633, it was reconsecrated in 1842 and taken over by the Franciscan order, which had recently lost its tenancy in the Iglesia de San Francisco de Asís a few blocks to the east. Thanks to its earlier incarnation under Augustine monks, the church still retains a notable Mexican flavor, including ochre pillars, intricate stained glass, haunting frescoes and a gorgeously painted inner dome.
