A stunning religious building located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. This architectural gem is one of the city's most recognizable symbols and attracts thousands of visitors each year. The parish was initially built in 1555, but due to its deterioration, it was rebuilt in 1709. The current facade, in the Neo-Gothic style, was designed by Zeferino Gutiérrez in 1880 and was inspired by European cathedrals, particularly the one in Cologne, Germany. Inside the parish, inside there are oil paintings by artists such as Juan Rodríguez Juárez. The parish is also a spiritual and cultural meeting place, where masses, weddings, and religious festivals are celebrated.
This historic site is a must-visit for anyone interested in exploring the rich spiritual heritage of Mexico. La Santa Escuela de Cristo is a 16th-century school that was founded by the Spanish conquistador and Catholic priest, Juan de Dios. As you step inside, you'll be struck by the serene atmosphere and the beautiful architecture. The school's chapel, with its stunning stained-glass windows and ornate altarpiece, is a particular highlight. You'll also have the opportunity to explore the school's museum, which features exhibits on the history of the school and the life of Juan de Dios. What's truly special about La Santa Escuela de Cristo, however, is its ongoing commitment to spiritual education and community service. To this day, the school continues to provide educational programs and support services to the local community.
