Pinacoteca del Templo de la Profesa

Description:

• If you are walking around the old historic city centre on a Sunday afternoon and are not quite sure what to do, you could perhaps drop into this art gallery. Considered to be one of the most important in the country, it is only open to the public on this particular day of the week. The exhibition includes paintings by some of the most famous artists from the colonial period, including Juan Correa, Villalpando and José Juárez. There is also a section dedicated to the Virgin Mary and another to religious art, from the early colonial days to the nineteenth century. A good opportunity to see a fine collection of quality paintings.
