Parroquia de San José, Catholic parish in Tlaxcala de Xicoténcatl, Mexico
The church features a New Spanish Baroque facade that combines mortar, brick, and tile, with a single tower containing semicircular arches and Tuscan pilasters.
The structure was constructed in the 18th century, replacing a 16th-century hermitage, and became the cathedral of Tlaxcala in 1640 during the secularization against Franciscans.
The interior displays neoclassical decorations alongside baroque art, including golden retablos in Churrigueresque style and 18th-century paintings in the sacristy.
The parish church stands at 1º de Mayo Number 4 in the Centro district of Tlaxcala de Xicohténcatl, maintaining regular religious services.
Two stone carved holy water fonts contain distinct imagery: one depicts Camaxtli, the pre-Hispanic Tlaxcalteca deity, while the other shows the Spanish imperial shield.
