San Francisco Acatepec

Acatepec, Mexico, near Cholula, State of Puebla. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -Church of San Francisco of Acatepec: The foundations of what would become one of the most representative samples of Mexican baroque were laid on the "Hill of the Reeds", English translation of the Náhuatl word Acatepec. San Francisco is a colossus of faith that stands out for its doorway covered with Talavera glazed tiles and delicate carvings; ornamental excesses are repeated inside the temple, where golden and plaster elements are predominant along with a multiplicity of religious images. The beginning of its construction is unknown but it is thought that it might have been built between the XVII and XVIII centuries. What has been determined with certainty is that its façade was ready in 1760. DSCN2733
