1. Ex Convent of Santa Catarina (House of the Eleven Courtyards) Marker
Legado de las monjas dominicas del siglo XVIII, el nombre "La Casa de los Once Patios" se debe a que originalmente contó con 11 patios. El espacio está dedicado a la exhibición y venta de artesanías de la región. En uno de los patios hay un baño de estilo barroco construido para una princesa que negó su reinado y se encerró en el convento.
