Parish Church and Former Augustinian Monastery

Parroquia y Ex Convento del Divino Salvador

Dating from the 16th century, this Augustinian church and former monastery dedicated to the Divine Savior has an attractive, tree-filled atrium and a stone crucifix. The plateresque facade is simple. Inside the cloister there are stunning works of al fresco paintings made by indigenous artists known as tlacuilos.

The paintings you’ll see here depict regional flora and fauna in a representation of the Garden of Eden, or a Tlalocan.
