The temple was built from 1554 to 1572 under the orders of the Augustinians. It's a large architectural work, with a main facade over 30 meters high featuring a simple entrance adorned with carved angels and flowers.

The atrium is enormous, but only the northern wall remains original; the others have undergone several modifications. The complex also includes a cloister, an open chapel, the main temple, a pilgrims' portal, side chapels, and a processional passage.

The sacristy stands out with its beautiful mural paintings and frescoes.

Inside, there is a museum of sacred art with a valuable collection of colonial-era artifacts. Another room houses several well-preserved child mummies found beneath the convent's altar.

Throughout the streets of this Magical Town, you'll find various shops offering a wide variety of high-quality crafts. Don't miss the chance to try their traditional green mole or pipián.
