Sepulcro de Villaseca, Renaissance sepulcher in Historic Center, Mexico
The Sepulcro de Villaseca stands in San Miguel Arcangel Church at 95 San Jeronimo Street, featuring white marble columns and cardinal virtues statues.
Built in the late 16th century, this funeral monument contains the remains of Alonso de Villaseca, a Spanish settler who gained wealth through mining operations.
The sepulcher combines religious and secular elements, displaying both the Villaseca and Guerrero family crests alongside representations of cardinal virtues.
The monument remains accessible within San Miguel Arcangel Church, where visitors can examine its Renaissance architectural details and marble craftsmanship.
The structure survived multiple relocations, including its transfer from the Jesuit church of San Pedro and San Pablo in 1784 to its current location.
