Templo de Nuestra Señora del Carmen

The temple displays intricate neoclassical architecture with Salomonic columns, four sandstone statues of Carmelite saints, and a collection of 18th-century paintings.

Construction began in 1687 under the supervision of Discalced Carmelite friars, with architect Juan Bautista de la Mora leading the project until completion in 1690.

The church hosts monthly scapular blessings and annual celebrations on July 16 for the Virgin of Carmen, drawing numerous community members to participate.

Located near Plaza Guadalajara and the Instituto Cultural de Cabañas, the church remains active under the Metropolitan Sagrario Parish of the Guadalajara Archdiocese.

The temple houses a significant painting titled 'La Dolorosa' by Cristóbal de Villalpando, which underwent professional restoration in 1997.
