Ex Convento de Santa María de la Concepción Atlihuetzia, Franciscan convent in Yauhquemecan Municipality, Mexico
The convent structure features stone and brick construction with a main nave, tower, open chapel, and cloister spread across its grounds.
Construction of the convent began in 1525, shortly after the fall of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, and continued throughout different phases during the 16th century.
The convent displays mural paintings depicting religious scenes, including one showing a man confessing while being tempted by a demon.
The convent is located at Plaza Principal in Santa María Atlihuetzia, accessible via main roads within the Yauhquemecan Municipality of Tlaxcala.
The Porciúncula door of the convent opened on special occasions, granting indulgences to those who entered through it according to religious tradition.
