Santuario de San José de Gracia

The neoclassical temple features a three-tiered facade with Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian orders, topped by a central bell tower above the narthex.

Following destruction during the Reform War between liberals and conservatives, construction of the current sanctuary began in 1880 and concluded in November 1890.

Every month on the 12th at 8:30 PM, the sanctuary holds special services including the Salve prayer, rosary, and mass, continuing a 90-year tradition.

The sanctuary stands at Paseo Alcalde 294 in Guadalajara's Historic Center, near the Journalism Museum and is included in the Seven Churches pilgrimage route.

The temple's ribbed vaults incorporate lily designs, symbolizing Saint Joseph's purity, while its architectural layout mirrors the Carmen Temple in Celaya.
