Templo y Ex Convento de la Inmaculada Concepción de Zacualpan de Amilpas
This cultural heritage site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1994.
An Augustinian building initiated in 1535 and completed in 1567, attributed to Fray Juan Cruzat. It has a completely walled atrium, and its cloister resembles a medieval fortress. This complex comprises the church, open chapel, and porter's lodge.
In this architectural work from the 16th century, you can appreciate its quarry arches with indigenous craftsmanship features, paintings of Augustinian saints, and the main altarpiece attributed to the indigenous artist Higinio López, considered one of the best carvers of the Viceroyalty.
The oldest part of the complex is the cloister, and its walls feature paintings such as a detailed genealogical tree of the Augustinians.
The open chapel with its large pointed arch was added later, as well as the church, which has undergone several modifications.
The monastery houses several objects of great artistic and historical value, such as a 19th-century clock and a finely carved Baroque-style organ.
This temple has undergone many modifications over time, including the construction of a side chapel dedicated to the Virgin of the Rosary in the 19th century, which is considered one of the most beautiful in the state.
This is a coffee-growing area where sugarcane brandy prepared with fruit is produced. Additionally, you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of the town by exploring its colorful streets with old mansions and the ruins of haciendas like San Nicolás Cuautepec.
