Rafael Coronel Museum

Museo Rafael Coronel 1990, a restored Convento de San Francisco 1593 - 1857
In 1575, the first Augustinian order arrived in Zacatecas and built their first temple which was very modest. By 1590, walls for a larger church had already been constructed and in 1617 this new, more lavish and beautiful church was dedicated. From that magnificent temple, today only a few beautiful vestiges remain. At its main facade today stands a high white wall and where once there were ornate alter pieces there is empty space.
