The church on the plaza was restored and rebuilt from 1995 to 2003 and adopts the familiar Jesuit style with a wide roof supported by wooden columns, though they are noticeably smooth and without decoration in this example. There's a colorful Amazonian mural on the facade, and if you get a small group together, one of the church workers will take you around inside for a small fee.
