| Sumario: | The origins of the church of the Society of Jesus in Tunja dated four centuries ago, to the beginning of the 17th century, when the temple was start inside a house half a block from the main square, acquired by the Jesuits to stablish their school-novitiate, which grew little by little with many difficulties. The façade of the temple only come out to the street in the middle of the 18th century. After the expulsion of the Jesuits, the dispersion of altars and images of canvas and bulk and the change of uses of the temple began, which would become a convent-hospital and college-university of the republic. In the seventies of the 20th century, an intervention was carried out for tourist purposes that disfigured its spatiality and turned it into a concert hall. In the eighties, a restoration corrected part of the exterior intervention and consolidated the roof of the old church of the Society of Jesus, today used as a temple. |
