Capilla del Cerrito, Religious chapel at Cerro del Tepeyac, Mexico City, Mexico
The Capilla del Cerrito stands on the hill with a baroque facade constructed from red volcanic rock and features estipite columns inside its walls.
The chapel marks the location where Juan Diego collected damask roses to present to Bishop Juan de Zumárraga as proof of the Virgin's appearances.
Fernando Leal created a series of murals within the chapel that illustrate the complete narrative of the Virgin of Guadalupe's manifestation.
Visitors reach the chapel by climbing a steep winding staircase to the top of Cerro del Tepeyac, where they can view the Valle de México.
The chapel's terrace displays four marble archangels representing Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel, sculpted by Ernesto Tamariz from Puebla.
