san francisco of potosi convent and temple印象
-
The view from the roof of San Francisco is breathtaking, however there is not much else to see. The tour of the church/ convent was limited to going into the catacombs and the convent patio.

The guide told us it was half closed but she could take us to the roof. It was our best visit in such a place in Bolivia. The guide (that I missed her name) made all the difference, adding her Potosiana information when was possible and this make all the difference understanding the place and its context overall. We enjoyed to talk not only about Convento, but Potosi and Bolivia as well. The views up there were stunning and well worth the visit.

met een gids begin je in de sacristie waar een groot schilderij hangt waarvan gezegd wordt dat de schilder zichzelf heeft afgebeeld en dat hij de enige is die op ons neer kijkt. De kerk is prachtig en van de Christus wordt gezegd dat hij natuurlijk haar heeft dat nog altijd groeit. De mirador bereik je van in de kerk en deze geeft een mooi uitzicht over de stad.

In April 2012 we visited this convent and church. For 15 bs per person, you have a guided tour (ours: only spanish, well informed guide/security woman) seeing quite some typical colonial paintings in the corridors of the convent, a creepy vault in the church and a very nice rooftop view. Worth going.

Conocer la historia de los franciscanos. Conocer la iglesia. Las catacumbas. Y la vista panorámica. Hermoso lugar. El mejor mirador.
-
Be sure to look at the faces of the angels carved around the front doors.Local artisans put in the Bolivian faces.

Wonderful tour (but you have to speak Spanish to understand it) and the views from the roof are really dramatic.

The english speaking guide is absolutly great. She gives you a lot of information on both the convent and the church but also about Bolivian history and politics. Both exciting and informative. The convent is interesting to see because of all the art work. The trip up the tower is exciting, airy and gives you a wonderful view of both Potosí and Cerro Rico. For those who like to see the cript, it is actualy interesting. All in all well worth the visit (takes 1-1.5 hours when you like listening to the guide and posing questions)

We were recommended to tour this church ahead of the cathedral and it proved a great choice. You take a guided tour and photos are again an extra fee.Whilst the interior of the church with its high ceilings and catacombs replete with skulls are worth seeing, the view from the roof is superb. Panoramic views over the city to the mountain and beyond are the reward for a climb up the tower and across walkways over the tiled roof. You are eventually moved on by your guide but we got 10 minutes of heaven up there. Vertigo sufferers may struggle a little but it's not a place with a long vertical drop.

We took the guided tour. The first part focused on the painting and was a bit boring. Yet the visit of the catacombs but mostly the view from the roof of the church makes it a must see in Potosi.
