Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Dominican church in Chiapa de Corzo, Mexico
The Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán features three naves covered with wooden frames, with the central nave rising higher to allow natural light through windows.
The construction of this religious building began in 1554 under the direction of Portuguese friar Pedro de Barrientos, marking a significant period in Chiapas colonial architecture.
The temple combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Neoclassical architectural elements, representing the fusion of European and indigenous building techniques in colonial Mexico.
The temple stands on flat ground between the right bank of the Grijalva River and the main square of Chiapa de Corzo at Plaza Ángel Albino Corzo.
The bell tower houses one of the largest bells in the Americas, making it a notable architectural landmark in the Chiapas region.
