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

The Templo del Santo Ángel Custodio de Analco is a church of indigenous Baroque style built from quarried stone and mortar. Its façade shows the archangel Michael and the Latin inscription ANGELE SANCTE DEI SIT SEMPER CUSTOS MEI; two tall towers flank it, the south one from 1632 and the north one built between 1777 and 1778. Inside, a single nave has a barely perceptible crossing and a dome without a drum, resting on pendentives carved with high-relief archangels dressed as Roman soldiers.

The building was constructed in 1619 on the site of an earlier chapel from 1560. In 1627, it gained parish status under Bishop Bernardo Gutiérrez de Quirós.

The name Analco comes from Nahuatl and means "on the other side of the river", referring to its position across the San Francisco River from the city's founding site. The neighborhood was first settled by Mixtec and Cholula peoples, who built four tlaxicallis, or suburbs; the most important, Huilocautlán, had a small hermitage dedicated to the souls in purgatory. Today, the plazuela de Analco in front of the church hosts a weekend artisan market.

The church remains open for regular Catholic services and sits near a weekend artisan market in the Analco plaza. On weekends, the area becomes particularly active with opportunities to discover local craftwork.

The 1999 earthquake damaged the towers, and repairs revealed that the south tower, long assumed solid, was partly filled with rubble. Inside were human and animal bones, leather shoes, glass, wood, and 970 pottery shards, mostly glazed earthenware and majolica from the 17th to 19th centuries. Workers also found the old belfry steps and a painting of the Virgin on a gray stone slab, likely from a tomb.
