Templo Padre Jesús de Nazaret

The Templo Padre Jesús de Nazaret is a Baroque temple in Cunduacán with white and red walls featuring rustic wooden beams inside. The roof is tiled and gives the structure its characteristic traditional appearance.

The temple was built in 1724 by Franciscan missionaries and stands as one of the oldest Catholic churches in Tabasco. It remains at its original location and has survived several eras in the region.

The temple takes its name from a sacred image that the Cárdenas family brought to the area when they settled there. This image continues to shape devotion at the site and connects local history with community faith.

The temple is located near Cunduacán and is regularly accessible to visitors, as regular services continue to take place there. Plan your visit to have time to observe the architecture and interior layout at a comfortable pace.

During a campaign against religious activities from 1919 to 1934, this temple was converted into a school building instead of being destroyed like many others. This allowed the structure to survive and today it stands as a witness to that turbulent period.
