In Tepoztlán, a beautiful Magic Town, you will find the Convent of Our Lady of the Nativity, which was built by the Tepozteco indigenous people under the direction of the Dominicans between 1555 and 1580.

It was dedicated to the Nativity, and its decorations feature marvelous details with plant elements and fantastic creatures. Its original bells and paintings from five centuries ago are still preserved.

The convent exhibits a Renaissance-style architecture, and unlike other monastic complexes, it is located north of the church.

You can admire the delicate decoration of its interior walls and vaults, which depict flowers, geometric figures, and emblems of the Dominican order, among other decorative elements.

It has a large atrium that served as a cemetery during the colonial era. Its entrance is adorned with a mural made of seeds, created by the local community each year to enhance the beauty of the complex.

The façade of the church is beautifully decorated with angels and cherubs.

On the upper floor of the convent is the Museum and Historical Documentation Center of Tepoztlán, where you can see archaeological and ethnographic pieces.
