Quite many colonial buildings have survived the test of time. The pleasant old town still has its colonial layout of alleys and squares and a rather historic atmosphere. Many of the best sights are scattered on and around the main plaza, including the 16th century San Mateo monastery, the 18th century Baroque churches of San Juan Bautista and Santo Domingo. There's a small city museum with a collection on the region's history, going back to pre-Hispanic times.
