Church of San José, Colonial church in historic centre of Aguascalientes, Mexico.

The Church of San José features a neoclassical entrance with a semicircular arch and a pyramid-topped tower in the heart of Aguascalientes City.

Established in 1700 under King Felipe II's authorization, the church complex originally included a hospital and cemetery alongside the main religious building.

Eight colonial-era paintings by artists Miguel Cabrera and José Alcíbar decorate the interior walls, displaying New Spain artistic techniques.

Located at 205 Francisco Primo Verdad Street in central Aguascalientes, the church maintains regular religious services and welcomes visitors throughout the week.

The church dome incorporates Chinese porcelain anagrams, reflecting an unusual combination of classical and Asian decorative elements.
