Churches Tour in San Andres Cholula
Day Note:
Our tour begins at the San Andrés Zocalo. In front of it, the Parroquia de San Andrés stands unmistakable. This is the most important church in San Andrés and is a beautiful example of the heavy constructions the Spaniards did after the Conquista.
Along the 3 Sur (the street behind the City Hall on the Zocalo) you'll fin three small churches. The first one is San Miguelito Xochimihuacan, then a small chapel-like church called San Andresito and finally Santa...

Description:
This Church was built in 1509 and is the most important one in San Andres Cholula. (Remember there are two Cholulas, San Andres and San Pedro) Its most famous feature is how tall the facade seems because of the slender towers at each side and how little ornaments it has.
Inside, the Church is like a museum. Dozens of paintings are shown along the main nave. The painting called La Trinidad (The Trinity) was made by the celebrated artist Pascuel Perez.

Our Local Expert Says:
In front of this church, there is yet another hidden jewel. The ruins of what used to be a church. Now is a deposit of old things, but is still amazing, and one can't help but wonder how the church was.

This is a beautiful, pretty unknown, small church in San Andres. The inside is beautiful, and the church is so remote and local that the inside is truly an amazing surprise. The details on every wall and the ceiling are splendid, and so is the small organ. The wooden altar left of the main altar is a baroque master piece.

This beautiful, small church, somehow got lost in the middle of the chaos that Camino Real is. It's surrounded by restaurants, bars and shops. This is an island of tranquility that looks almost ridiculous on that street.
It's a tiny colorful church you should visit if you happen to be walking along Camino Real and you see it's open.
