This temple is considered the most important in Tlacotalpan and was one of the last works carried out under the viceregal administration. Its construction began in 1812 and for more than forty years the works were suspended, until Miguel Zacarías Cházaro’s initiative led to their resumption in 1849.
Of neoclassical style and great dimensions, the temple was built under the direction of Luis Zapari, who reinforced the walls and closed the vaulted ceiling, to the interior it counts on an elaborate altar of cedar wood made by poblano craftsmen, carved and pierced. The canvas of the Virgin of Guadalupe is very old and belonged to a friars’ retreat house. The images of Saint Christopher and the resurrection were carved in Tlacotalpan by the sculptor Manuel Centurion.
Location: Plaza Zaragoza s/n, Centro, Tlacotalpan, Veracruz.
