  lots of potential in this deteriorated old convent

Iglesia y Convento de Santa Clara Real was meant to be quite an impressive colonial church and complex resplendent with a profusion of religious artwork from the period but was unfortunately closed when we were in town. There was no notice to the effect but it was literally around the corner from our hotel so we went by the 1571 convent numerous times only to find its doors closed. Hopefully, it was being restored as it looked in quite disrepair from its exterior. It would be nice to see it join the ranks of the other fine colonial buildings in town and help make Tunja the attraction it should be.
