Tepoztlán Ex Convento Museum

The stone building contains a large atrium, an open chapel, and four quadrangular vaulted structures positioned at the courtyard corners.

The Dominican friars supervised the construction of this religious complex between 1555 and 1580, with substantial participation from Tepoztecan Indians.

The museum displays ancient artifacts, religious paintings, and Dominican order emblems that represent the fusion of indigenous and Spanish colonial traditions.

Located at Envila y No Reelección in central Tepoztlán, the museum offers free admission and contains exhibits across multiple floors.

The entrance features a detailed seed arch, while the interior walls preserve original paintings created with lime mortar and natural vegetable binders.
