The church of San Francisco Javier boasts a rich artistic repetoire inside, consisting of sculptures (almost all of them in carved, painted, and polychromed wood), altarpieces, liturgical items, and more. Its pulpit is also noteworthy, attached to a column and crafted from carved wood. It comprises an octagonal body with a canopy. On its fronts, one can observe the carvings of the four evangeists and an image of Jesus.  

As unique elements, there’s a dome in the transept over pendentives with an aeight-sidded apse, a dome at the head of the church, a bell tower, and the Baroque altarpiece by Antonio Carrión Valverde.  

With Latin cross floor plan, its structure consists of barrel vaults supported by load-bearing walls in the enclosures and pilasters in the central openings.  

This church is home to the parish museum of San Javier. Though small in size, it consists of four different spaces or areas that allow us to approach Catholic devotion and worship through a series of pieces of a varied origin, mostly donated by the residents of San Javier. From a small collection of colonial art pieces donated by Priest Mr. Antonio García Castejón to ornaments and textiles for worship, devotional images, and even some remains of the altarpiece that existed before the fire of 1939.
