Templo y exconvento de San Francisco, 16th-century Franciscan convent in Tlahuelilpan, Mexico
The San Francisco Temple and Former Convent displays Plateresque architecture with Gothic, Renaissance, and Mudejar elements in its ornate stone facade.
Franciscan friars initiated the construction during the 16th century as part of their mission to spread Catholicism among indigenous communities in the region.
The religious complex includes a museum containing liturgical objects and sacred art that documents the development of Catholic practices in Hidalgo.
The expansive atrium of the complex serves as an outdoor venue for religious services and community events throughout the year.
The building structure contains architectural elements from multiple periods, making it a valuable resource for studying colonial Mexican construction methods.
