Church of the Congregation of Guadalupe
Dating from the second half of 17th century, this is one
of the City's most visited and most venerated churches, in
spite of the fact that it no longer retains its previous
splendor.
The facade with two towers, square at the bottom and
octagonal above, still conserves its baroque entrance done
in stone with sculpture of Virgin of Guadalupe in upper
niche.
The interior has single nave and among its outstanding
features are the frontispiece of baroque organ built by
Ignacio de las Casas a painting of Virgin of Guadalupe
done by Miguel Cabrera and the iron railings of the chorus
and atrium.
There is meeting room with collection of paintings of
famous 18th century congregation members.
