English translation:Temple of San Francisco This was the main temple of what was the first and largest Franciscan convent in Mexico City. It was sponsored by Hernán Cortés in 1524. It came to occupy 32,490 square meters. The convent was broken up and remodeled several times. The temple, as we see it today, comes from the rebuilding carried out in 1716.
