Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento

The structure features intricate stone carvings, pointed arches, flying buttresses, and tall spires that reach toward the sky, following Gothic architectural principles.

Construction of the temple began in 1897 under architect Adamo Boari but faced interruption during the Mexican Revolution, taking 75 years to complete.

The temple houses a German-made clock mechanism connected to 25 bells that play both religious hymns and traditional Mexican melodies throughout the day.

Visitors can access the temple daily from early morning until evening, with guided tours available to explore the architectural details and religious artifacts.

The doors incorporate granadilla wood carvings by Jesús Gómez Velazco and bronze reliefs by Benito Castañeda, demonstrating Mexican craftsmanship.
