San Miguel Concá mission

The San Miguel Concá mission consists of a stone church building with decorative elements that combine European and indigenous artistic expressions.

The mission was constructed in the mid-18th century by Franciscan missionaries to establish religious centers for indigenous communities in the Sierra Gorda region.

The mission displays architectural features of Spanish Baroque design integrated with local artistic traditions through its carved stone decorations and religious symbols.

The mission opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available through local tourism offices, and includes informational panels explaining its historical context.

The mission forms part of a network of five Franciscan structures in Sierra Gorda that received UNESCO World Heritage status for their cultural significance.
