Practical
Position from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim). History from Wikipedia: Lazi became a parish in 1857, the church was built in 1884, the belfry the year after, and the convent in 1887-1891 under Father Toribio Sanchez. Inside, the church keeps its original retablo and wooden floors. Dress modestly.
