La Valenciana Church, Baroque church in Guanajuato, Mexico.
The church features pink volcanic stone walls, three ornate altarpieces covered in gold leaf, and an octagonal dome following Latin cross design.
Built between 1775 and 1788, this religious structure originated from the wealth of La Valenciana silver mine, owned by Antonio de Ordóñez y Alcocer.
The church contains original furnishings from the 18th century, including a wooden pulpit and organ that demonstrate Mexican Churrigueresque craftsmanship.
Located on a hillside near the Dolores Hidalgo highway, visitors can reach the church by car or organized tours from downtown Guanajuato.
The church entrance features an atrium bordered by a stone wall with merlons, distinguishing it from other colonial religious buildings in Mexico.
