Capilla de San José Tlaltenango y Santuario de la Virgen de los Milagros
The Chapel of San José Tlaltenango dates back to the 16th century.
It was one of the first Catholic constructions in America and houses the image of San José, believed to have been brought from Spain by Hernán Cortés.
Next to it, you can appreciate the temple dedicated to the Virgen de los Milagros, built in 1730, featuring Neoclassical interior decoration.
This religious complex was used as a barracks by the Zapatista army during the Revolution, and some bullet marks can still be seen.
