Lonely Planet review for Iglesia del Dulce Nombre de Jesús
Founded in 1621, the independent colonial town of Petare has long since been swallowed by the metropolis but it still preserves some of its historic character. The square is occupied by the mid-18th-century Iglesia del Dulce Nombre de Jesús.
From the metro, take the 'Av Fco de Miranda' exit, cross the avenue and take one of the narrow streets uphill to the plaza. Bear in mind, however, that the neighborhood, close to sprawling slums, is considered unsafe.
