It is known, dry, as the Church of the Candelaria. Su construction was started in 1686 as part of the ancient Convent of San Nicolás de los Agustinos Recoletos. What most impacts within this church and convent are the works of the Santaferean painter Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballosin addition to the mural of the artist Pedro Alcántara Quijano Moreno.
As for its colonial structure, the temple is composed of three ships and two sides. The main altar of the 17th century stands out.
It was restored between 2003 and 2005. The temple inside has a central ship accompanied by two lower sides, divided into five chapels per side and separated from the main one by half-point arches. After the spinal arch is the presbytery with a high-height cover, which is an extremely lightened vault that looks flat. The cover of the sotacoro (place or covered space below the choir) presents a sample of fine artisan influenced by the Baroque style. It was declared National Monument in 1975.
