We'll start with the most beautiful and magical building in this city, probably one of the most beautiful churches in the country, and surely an unique one. Tonanzintla was created by indians hands to be their church, this is why the faces and forms of the angels and saints are so basics, and that is probably what makes them so beautiful.


Nuestra Señora de los Remedios is another unique church in Mexico, since it's set atop of the Great Pyramid of Cholula. The sight of the city and the volcanos is unbelievable from there, and the church is beautiful on the inside. The steps to get there may seem like a lot of work, but the truth is that with each step you'll discover a new view, and when you least expect it, you'll be on the top.
The Capilla Real is another jewel of Cholula, words cannot even begin to describe the feeling you get when you enter. Is amazing!
