Iglesia de San Servacio has been a beautiful fixture across from the central plaza’s southern side since 1706. It was ordered built by order of Bishop Don Pedro de los Reyes to replace the 1545 church that had been destroyed in 1705. Still today it has a 19th century clock tower which houses the only public clock in the city.
Pairs of palms and belfries, bells still hanging, frame the central stained glass window and giant wood door leads to the interior ministry. A smooth yellow meter high wall sits beneath another meter high rod iron fence. Open to the public, a stream of onlookers and worshippers file in to admire its beauty. Some pray for help, others forgiveness or guidance; many simply walk the aisle to admire the beauty and history contained within.
