2022 - Morelia, Michoacán - 34 - Templo Capuchinas
Parroquia del Sagrario Metropolitano Templo de Capuchinas (Temple and Ex-Convent of the Capuchins).
Construction of the Baroque-style complex began in 1680 and was completed in 1737.
It belonged to the Clarisas Capuchinas sisters and was used to house the Indian maidens daughters of caciques and the Capuchin nuns.
A fire consumed the main altar and only 3 baroque altarpieces remain. Over time it has undergone numerous renovations. In 1908 the part that functioned as a convent was demolished.
The most important thing about the temple is its colorful interior that contrasts with its sober exterior.
Inside are gilded boards with themes of the passion of Christ and the Holy Family.
Today only three of the six original boards remain.
