  1. CONVENT OF THE JACOBINES

The Convent of the Jacobins is an authentic jewel that consists of a large Gothic church, a cloister, a hair salon with dining room and a small chapel. We recommend that you visit when there is enough light to enjoy the ambience created by the color of its tall columns and stained glass. The austere exterior may fool you, but the interior is awe inspiring.

In the center of the church is the tomb of St. Thomas Aquinas.
