Iglesia de San Felipe Neri

Iglesia de San Felipe Neri is a serene colonial church and former convent in Sucre, known for its whitewashed architecture and tranquil rooftop terraces. Visitors can climb to the roof for panoramic views over the city’s tiled roofs and nearby church towers—especially striking at sunset. Inside, simple neoclassical lines and quiet courtyards reflect Sucre’s ecclesiastical heritage. It’s a short, rewarding stop for architecture lovers and photographers, and a good complement to nearby historic sites. Note that access to the rooftop is sometimes via guided entry and involves stairs.
