It's an architectural jewel with religious art in it. it has a collection of paintings by Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos. Its main alterpiece, carved in wood with gold leaves, adds an overwhelming feeling to those who see it.
You can get an excellent view of the city from up there, and when the sky is totally free of cluds, you can even apreciate the Sabana of Bogotá. It's an ideal place to go for a walk through nature, very pure air. Wedding celebrations take place there too. You can walk up there up calle 119, as you go pass schools and convents on each side of the road.
