Capilla de la Concepción Cuepopan, Baroque chapel in Centro Histórico, Mexico City.
The hexagonal chapel features a red brick dome with a lantern, and its facade displays intricate plant motifs across two distinct sections.
Originally established in the mid-18th century and dedicated to Lucia of Syracuse, the chapel later served as a mortuary for individuals without burial means.
The facade incorporates religious elements including a relief of Francisco of Assisi and a sculpture of Jesus of Nazareth carrying the cross.
Located in Plaza de la Concepción in the northwest area of Mexico City's Historic Center, the chapel stands as the last of its type.
The structure received official historical monument status on February 9, 1931, and transformed from a chapel into a library under educational authorities.
