Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, Catholic church on Great Pyramid in Cholula, Mexico
The Nuestra Señora de los Remedios church rises 54 meters above ground level, featuring carved stone walls and 24-carat gilded panel decorations.
Spanish colonists constructed this religious structure between 1574 and 1575 on the remains of an indigenous temple, with consecration occurring in 1629.
The church maintains continuous worship activities that mirror pre-Hispanic traditions, particularly ceremonies requesting rainfall for agricultural purposes.
Visitors can explore eight kilometers of tunnels beneath the structure, accessing different sections of the ancient pyramid through guided underground passages.
The religious building stands upon the Great Pyramid of Cholula, which spans 450 meters on each side and exceeds the size of Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Sun.
