Description: This first volume on the Church of San Ignacio  a religious and urban jewel, which is part of the so-called "Jesuit block" in the historical downtown of Bogotá illustrates in detail its architecture, its construction process and its subsequent restorations, both graphically and documentaryly. The extraordinary interior and exterior images embodied here, as well as the authorized studies that accompany it, offer an informed and broad view of the integral physical and historical context that surrounds this magnificent exhibition of colonial urbanism in the capital of the country. The "Jesuit block" located in the southeast corner of Bolivar Plaza in Bogota. Initially was only a few houses that, in the year, 1600, Father Alonso de Medrano had bought in that corner. Medrano and another Jesuit, Francisco Figueroa, were passing through Santa Fe as companions of Mr. Bartolomé Lobo Guerrero, who had come from Mexico to take possession of the archdiocese and wanted to bring her to the Jesuits.
