About Santuario de Guadalupe (Morelia)
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, also called the Temple of San Diego, was built at the beginning of the 18th century at the end of the tree-lined promenade that runs from the aqueduct. The pink cantera façade is simple.
The interior, decorated in the early 20th century, is covered with mortar reliefs painted in shades of pink, red and gold, with flowers, leaves and figures, in a style inspired by popular Baroque. The decoration impresses by the abundance of detail.
On December 12, the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe gathers locals and pilgrims around the sanctuary, with food and craft stalls.
In front, the plaza has stalls selling sweets and typical food such as gorditas and corundas.
