I’ve never seen anything like this place in my life. The whole house, and surrounding structures are completely covered in mosaics and other bizarre creations. Definitely worth the trip.

One of our guides described it as the living room of SMA. Just before sunset people of all ages fill the zocalo. It's exciting to watch and walk around

This is a pilgrimage church in a pilgrimage town. Known as the Sistine Chapel of Mexico ( or maybe Latin America) because of the extraordinary murals and paintings on the walls and ceilings. Some blend into each other. There is not cost to visit the church but the most beautiful room to the left of the entrance with a separate altar is spectacular and costs a little less then a dollar to enter

The first statue of Ignacio Allende was replaced because he was riding a horse with it's feet in the air - which symbolizes someone killed in battle. Allende was not killed in battle, he was captured and killed by the Spanish, thus a new statue with the horses feet on the ground. It's a beautiful statue in Plaza Civica.
