La Purísima Concepción Church, Gothic Revival temple in Aguascalientes, Mexico.

La Purísima Concepción Church is a Neo-Gothic temple whose entrance has a round arch with an archivolt. Above it, a second body holds a circular clock and a sculpture of the Virgin. The basilical interior has a barrel-vaulted nave with round transverse arches, and the church is flanked by two towers with pyramidal tops.

The arrival of the Ferrocarril Central Mexicano in Aguascalientes in 1884 drove the city's growth from a town to a metropolis and increased demand for new religious buildings. Civil and ecclesiastical authorities commissioned Refugio Reyes Rivas, who had designed the Templo de San Antonio in 1895. According to his logbook, work on this church began on 18 July 1902, though the first stone was laid on 8 September 1904. In 1970 the vaults neared collapse and were restored by architects Bernardo and José Luis Calderón with funds raised by priest Salvador Jiménez.

The church is named for the Purísima Concepción, whose sculpture stands on the second body above a circular clock. Its main entrance faces the Glorieta de la Purísima, and the building marks where Avenida Apostolado (now Juan de Montoro) once converged. Inside, the cypress altar of cantera stone is decorated with gilded plant reliefs and small columns.

The church has three entrances: the main one faces the Glorieta de la Purísima, with side doors on Calle José Refugio Reyes and toward the Alameda. It stands where Avenida Apostolado, now Juan de Montoro, once converged, so it is reached on foot from the centre. Look up at the second body for the circular clock and the sculpture of the Purísima.

The first stone was laid on 8 September 1904, although Refugio Reyes's logbook records work beginning on 18 July 1902. In 1970 the vaults were close to collapsing; priests raised alms and architects Bernardo and José Luis Calderón restored the building.
