These fourteen monasteries, built by the Augustinians, Franciscans, and Dominicans, date back to the 16th century and are in perfect condition.

They are all located on the slopes of Popocatépetl in the states of Morelos and Puebla and are representative of the architectural model adopted by the early missionaries.

These convents follow an architectural model that had a great influence both within the country and abroad. They share common basic elements and were built in a regular chronological sequence, starting with the atrium walls, the open chapel, and the posas chapels. Next, the temple nave and auxiliary buildings were constructed.

Finally, towers, side chapels, and second floors were added to the monasteries. Moreover, these constructions are characterized by incorporating open spaces.
