Mongui Church
Located in the Department of Boyac, 93 Km away from Tunja, lies Mongui. It features well-preserved colonial architecture and was declared the Cutest Town of Boyaca. The Mongui region was originally inhabited by Indians Sanoas who were evangelized by the Franciscans.
Construction of the first church and convent started after the foundation of the town. A Religious Art Museum now operates within the church grounds today. The construction lasted 100 years and as a result the impressive work was completed in a Spanish style called calicant. Methods included stone carving and incorporated wood and gold as materials with the building now ranked as one of the most spectacular of the time.
This region is magically majestic with a relaxing mood and aesthetically pleasing natural landscape.
Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.
