The Chapel of Rosario in Tunja, Colombia, exemplifies the ornamental intensity characteristic of 17th-century Latin American architecture.

While the chapel's underlying architectural space is not inherently complex, the interior is transformed through the extensive use of decorative reliefs. These highly articulated surfaces cover all interior planes, including the floors, walls, and ceilings. By blanketing the entire interior in this manner, the decoration creates a unique sensory experience that overwhelms the original structure, effectively collapsing the distinct architectural elements into a single, cohesive, tapestry-like surface.1
