This ex-monastery is huge and dominates the zocalo area of Tlayacapan. This site is part of the "Monasteries on the Slopes of Popocatépetl" World Heritage Site. The grounds themselves are modest now. You can visit the church part which is still used for local worship. There is also a museum located in the monastery building attached to the church, which I unfortunately did not have time to visit. An impressive glimpse into the power of the Augustinians in the 1500s.

Historical place with some particular details different from other places. We were lucky to have a gay (Ray) explaining is with lot of detail that made us feeling in that time. It is one of the best things in town.

No debes perderte visitar esta capilla que es parte de un monasterio, te sorprende el que en este lugar haya una edificación tan imponente, no hay mucho turismo por lo que puedes disfrutar de un día tranquilo y tener contacto con las verdaderas costumbres del lugar, no está bien señalizado pero si pones tu navegador llegas sin problemas

It has some history that you can not live, place is better if you observe the construction from outside, even the 5 pesos for the visit is expensive since you do not get immersed in the place at the remote time when was a candle factory or the space it was used during Mexican Revolution. Just pass by and you get the best.
