Templo del Santo Ángel Custodio de Analco, Baroque Catholic church in Analco district, Puebla, Mexico

The church features a stone and mortar construction with two towers, a single nave interior, and carved reliefs depicting archangels on its walls.

Built in 1619 on the site of a former hermitage from 1560, the church received parish status in 1627 under Bishop Bernardo Gutiérrez de Quirós.

The temple stands in Analco, a neighborhood whose name comes from Nahuatl meaning 'other side of the river', reflecting its indigenous heritage.

The church maintains regular Catholic services and stands near a weekend artisan market in the Analco plaza.

During restoration work in 1999, workers discovered human remains, animal bones, and historical artifacts hidden inside the south tower.
