Templo y convento de San Joaquín de Tacuba, Colonial religious complex in Tlacopan, Mexico
The San Joaquin Temple and Convent features a Latin cross layout with a circular dome at the crossing and gray quarry stone construction.
The Discalced Carmelites established this religious center in 1689 using a royal decree from Philip IV, making it the eleventh Carmelite foundation in Mexico.
The temple maintains Carmelite architectural principles through its austere facade and includes a bell gable in the southeast corner following order regulations.
Located in the Miguel Hidalgo district, the temple continues to serve as a religious center where visitors can attend services and explore historical architecture.
The complex contains a historic water cistern with a cannon-vaulted portico, representing the only structure of its kind in Latin America.
