Church of San Miguel Arcángel, 16th-century convent in Ixmiquilpan, Mexico.
The religious complex features a Plateresque facade with paired columns, decorative elements, and a bell tower integrated into the architectural ensemble.
The construction of the temple and convent began on September 29, 1550, under the direction of Friar Andres de Mata and was completed in 1560.
The interior walls display unusual murals depicting indigenous warriors, including an eagle knight and a jaguar warrior, rather than traditional Christian imagery.
The temple remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and stands 85 kilometers northwest of Pachuca, accessible via Federal Highway 85.
The convent's cloister exhibits Gothic-style pointed arches and ribbed vaults decorated with remnants of original mural paintings from the colonial period.
