This 18th-century church, built in the architectural style called churrigueresque, contains several pieces of well-known art.
Reviewed By sharedvision - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Identified as the state of the art construction , this highly adorned church completed in 1799 and was originally associated with St. Anthony, the patron of lost causes..identified with Spanish Baroque “”decorative style”” the outside of this church is visually striking..neoclassical structure..as a contrast, the inside of the Church of San Francisco has a more simple design..the courtyard offers seating opportunities and activities seem to be regularly present..on the west side of this square is the Iglesias de San Francisco with a bell tower in a faded white format..

This 17th-century cathedral holds a wooden image of the Nuestra Senora de Guanajuato that is thought be the oldest piece of Christian art in Mexico.

My first look at the beautiful city of Guanajuato was from the top at El Pipila and not only did the San Diego Church with it's red domes stand out, so did this striking yellow Basilica with 2 towers and the red dome. It seems to just dominate the whole postcard scene. Nuestra Señora (Our Lady) is the patron saint and protector of this city and her statue inside is indeed revered. The chandeliers and interior is stunning too. This Basilica stands at the main square in the Plaza of Peace.

This 17th-century church was built only after a protracted struggle to gain the land where a church built by Indians had previously stood.
Reviewed By sharedvision - San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
For me, this Church dominates the area near the Plaza Civica and the east end of Calle Insurgentes..It is described as a domed baroque structure built in the 18th century..as one enters the oil paintings, the brilliant dome view invites much further exploration and a longer reflection of the beauty that is present..the squares just outside the church offer a variety of food opportunities... there are many times when street musicians, jugglers and other entertainment is present..there are many places to sit and take in this wonderful atmosphere...

This 18th-century church dominates Dolores Hidalgo's Plaza Principal with its two large towers.
Reviewed By vagabondginger - San Diego, United States
Father Miguel Hidalgo stood on these church steps and ordered the bells to be rung as he called for the end of 300 years of Spanish rule. This was the beginning of the Mexican Revolution resulting in their independence. That is what makes this church so important to their history. It's not just the sights you see or just another church, travel is all about understanding the significance of these places. The town of Dolores added Father Hidalgo's name and it is known as the cradle of Mexican independence.
