The symbolic icon of San Miguel de Allende, mistakenly known as a “Cathedral”, is a parish church with a neo-Gothic façade in the heart of the city, opposite the main garden. A self-taught architect, Zeferino Gutiérrez was inspired in his design by drawings, engravings and postcards of European cathedrals, which resulted in a Neo-Gothic fantasy, whose towers can be seen from almost anywhere in the city and has made it one of the most photographed churches in our country. Once inside, the church will catch all your senses with the beauty of the sacred place

Duration: 40 minAdmission: YES

This church began to be built in 1778 and took more than 20 years to complete, different architectural changes are observed according to the period and fashion. The facade is pure Churrigueresque, with a huge number of carved stone figures and sharp columns.
