Parroquia San Juan Bautista

Fun fact: the steeple has been falling since this was built. The park and grounds surrounding the church are beautiful. Coyoacan was a neighborhood that Frida spent time in.

Very interesting church, a fine example of the early New Spain colonial architecture, quite austere in its original form but later embellished (particularly the mosaics inlaid domes) by Franciscan friars to whom Hernán Cortés granted the land, shortly after the Conquista, in the early XVIth century.
The gallery offers fine inlaid and intricately carved ceilings (do your homework and search for the meanings and symbols of the various parts of the ceiling) and beautiful garden in its courtyard.

One of the oldest churches in Mexico. Built by Hernan Cortez in 1526. Still a functioning church. We arrived just as noon mass was beginning. I have a bit of video at the end of the post.

Beautiful Church, built under mandate by Cortes himself shortly after the conquest of the city. The apse is very impressive, and be sure to look for the ghost of Brother Lego, whose ghost it is said places roses at the altar of Mary.

Its a Catholic Church with great interiors. Location is perfect for walking around with the family and it is a very safe area. Parking could be extremely difficult at peak hours. Surroundings offer great food variety and handcrafted products stores.
