Lonely Planet review

San Francisco's belfries were finished in the 20th century - too late for the Spanish Crown to collect its tax on completed churches. Inside are elaborate stone carvings and decadent altars. At the entrance is an interesting collection of dangling silver sacred hearts. Visit the church's small Museo de Arte Religioso to see 17th-century paintings done by indigenous artists, and the creepy catacombs, where many monks lie buried.

The intricately sculpted Capilla de la Dolorosa (to the right of the church) is considered one of the finest chapels in the city.
