At night time, this church is not to be missed. It glows. If you are in Morelia on a Saturday night make time to watch the lights turn on. When I was there at the end of December, people gathered on the street in front of the church at around 8pm. I don't remember the exact time the lighting started,... More

Beautiful church, very close to the aqueduct. While the outside of the church is pretty plain, the inside of this church is just fantastic!! While church is currently under renovation, place is open for visits and visitors can still admire this incredible site.

The Sanctuary is still being worked on but try to see it from the street at night. It's beautiful all lit up, as is the Aqueduct near it so you can see both!

loved the way the sanctuary was done as well as the courtyard. When we were there the church was under reconstruction so we did not get to really enjoy what was there. But the architecture designed by the indigenous is quite distinctive
