Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Luz

The church contains a grey stone facade with Ionic pilasters and Tuscan columns, decorated with red bricks and colorful tiles in geometric patterns.

Construction of the church began in 1761 under the supervision of priest Manuel del Toro and continued until its final completion in 1818.

The church houses paintings by Miguel de Mendoza and combines architectural elements from both Spanish colonial and indigenous Mexican building traditions.

Located at Avenida 2 Ote 1401 in Puebla City, the church remains open for religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The building features a Greek cross floor plan, which differs from traditional church layouts found in colonial Mexican architecture.
