Museo Casa Histórica de la Independencia
The most important tourist and historic spot in the city. The Independence of the country was declared here on July 9, 1816, by representatives from the different provinces. The only part of the house that remains of the original building is the room where the congressmen gathered and the declaration took place. The facade was rebuilt after the original one based on photographs of the 19th century. Every day at 20:15. There is a theater play in the Historical House with actors who represent the historical time and events. It is a light and sound show too. Sometimes there is another brief play early in the afternoon.
This magnificent building was built where the old Cabildo used to be.
Parroquia San Francisco
The interior is beautifully decorated.
