Templo del señor del Hospital, Catholic temple in Salamanca, Mexico
The Temple of the Lord of the Hospital stands in Constitution Garden, featuring late neoclassical architecture with detailed interior murals by Candelario Rivas.
Construction of the temple began in 1888 and continued until 1924, succeeding the Chapel of Assumption founded by Don Vasco de Quiroga in 1560.
During Holy Week, thousands of pilgrims gather at the temple to participate in traditional dances and ceremonies dedicated to the Black Christ.
The temple opens daily for visitors, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements and religious artifacts within the building.
The main altar houses a black ebony Christ figure, created by Purépecha artists during the spiritual conquest of Mexico.
