Tourist attraction Cemetery

👍👍 I love visiting crypts and this one is without a doubt one of the most beautiful. Silence and calm prevail, they are in excellent condition and what they charge to enter is symbolic (5 pesos). Inside there are red arrows that show you the route because it is a maze! If you are sensitive or afraid of...

    I love visiting crypts and this one is without a doubt one of the most beautiful. Silence and calm prevail, they are in excellent condition and what they charge to enter is symbolic (5 pesos). Inside there are red arrows that show you the route because it is a maze! If you are sensitive or afraid of small spaces, it is better not to go. It is a historical place and I would like them to sell a guide at the entrance to learn more about what you visit because I was left wanting to know more 🕊🥰

    ...I really liked visiting, it is a place that one would not expect to exist there, it is hidden behind the Church, and it is very interesting to visit...

    It is a visit that should not be missed if you visit the temple. The entrance is a little hidden at the back of the temple. Access costs $10 pesos per person. There are several chapels, some very small, (so be careful if you are claustrophobic). The hallways are very narrow, you have to be careful not to hit your head on the low ceilings. The representations and sculptures of saints are very beautiful and detailed.

    (Translated by Google) An obligatory stop if you visit León, the Expiatorio is a must, and the Crypts are super Cured, Many History and walking through all those narrow corridors, and seeing all the crypts is fascinating, grab a guide, super accessible does not charge much, and you explains everything very well .. Recommended 💯 (Original) Una parada obligada si visitas León, el Expiatorio es un Imperdible, y las Criptas están super Curadas, Muchas Historia y caminar por todos esos estrechos pasillos, y ver todas las criptas es fascinante, agarren un guía, super accesible no cobra mucho, y te explica super bien todo.. Recomendado 💯

    A place that most call sacred, where they keep the remains of more than 1900 people, the construction of the temple began in July 1921, it was completed in 2012, a place with an incredible structure, the person who attends at the end explains that the The tour represents the life we ​​lead, the entrance costs $5 pesos per person, you can take photos, you must remain silent, it is a place that feeds our culture, it reminds us how fleeting life usually is and that we must learn to value it while we have it I do not recommend it to visit with children, due to the respect and silence that must be maintained,

    Visiting the catacombs is mandatory, just like visiting the temple. I recommend that your visit is guided by a professional, because there are countless historical details that this space preserves.

    #墨古美行旅 今天假日想在萊昂找個景點逛逛,一找就看到一個宏偉壯觀的天主教教堂:Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús,到了現場才知道,這個教堂至少有4-500年歷史,2008年重新翻修過。 西班牙人傳教的力量真是浩大的工程,每殖民一處,《行政先至、宗教相隨》!這種移民方式和漢移民的《移民先至、行政後隨》有所不同! 開著車先加油,在20分鐘就已經到達這個景點!一看到宏偉壯麗的哥德式建築,真是嘆為觀止啊! 碰到一位非常熱心的女性,用比手畫腳的方式溝通,她應該是教會的導覽人員,她非常熱心的引導我:看各種不同的場景。 甚至帶我到地下墓室,看所有教友,還有歷經無數主教們的靈骨塔,等於是主教和教友們,都放在這裡的納骨塔。 雖然在歐洲的教堂裡面,甚至在聖彼得堡教堂,看過國王皇后王子公主等皇室墓室!但是沒有看過如此大片的靈骨塔集中於一處!非常壯觀,非常佩服他們500年來,對這個教會的貢獻! 原來這座天主教堂,已成為萊昂的地標建築,任何人都不能錯過! 最終在我出示的天使的翅膀前拍照後,結束這場充滿墨西哥熱情的比手畫腳解說,我和她合照感謝她的熱情!

    The place has limited space in the hallways, and only one entrance, several rooms, of which only 2 are notable, many crypts, these are monotonous, and it has a simple design, but the stone work is very good, the columns, railings and Excellent sculptures, it costs 5 pesos, some rooms are remarkable, it is good, but the temple is much, much better.

    (Translated by Google) History, Architecture, Mystery, very good experience, for only $ 5 pesos. It's worth visiting. The bad ... there is no access for strollers or wheelchairs. Not suitable for claustrophobic. (Original) Historia, Arquitectura, Misterio, muy buena experiencia, por solo $5 pesitos. Vale la pena visitar. Lo malo...no hay acceso para carriolas ni sillas de ruedas. No apto para claustrofóbicos.

  • 5/5 Haydée M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is incredible! He had never gone because the schedule does not fit, they close at around 6. He is behind the expiatory temple, for those who have not visited. It's worth it, its corridors and the environment is something that deserves to be visited. They charge $ 5 but it's to keep the place that has so much history. Tip: On Sundays there are guides (they wear pink vest with the logo of the city) and they can tell you more about the history of the crypts ?? (Original) Está increíble! Nunca había ido porque el horario no se acomoda, cierran aprox a las 6. Se encuentra detrás del templo expiatorio, para los que no han visitado. Vale la pena, sus pasillos y el ambiente es algo que merece ser visitado. Cobran $5 pero es para mantener el lugar que tanta historia tiene. Tip: los domingos hay guías (usan chaleco rosa con el logo de la ciudad) y te pueden contar más de la historia de las criptas ??

    Not many people are aware of the crypt as its entrance is hidden behind the church. I originally wanted to give it 4 stars due to the lighting, but they don't necessarily have a budget to maintain things. I think the experience would be better if they had better lighting instead of the daylight color cfl bulbs they have through. Note if you're claustrophobic, this may be a little unsetting for you. as the passage ways are very low, and there's only 1 way in and out. White the crypt is not new, it's also not as old as you'd expect. Don't be put off by the voices or shadowy figures. They're just trying to find their way home.

    (Translated by Google) Not suitable for claustrophobic. There comes a time when so much lowering suffocates the atmosphere a bit. I really liked this place, although it scares a little, it amounts to visiting an underground pantheon. I will visit again! (Original) No apto para claustrofóbicos. Llega un momento en el que de tanto bajar se sofoca un poco el ambiente. Me gustó mucho este lugar, aunque asusta un poquito, equivale a visitar un panteón subterráneo. ¡Lo volveré a visitar!

    (Translated by Google) Another of the attractions of the Temple Expiatorio, are the labyrinth of its catacombs conformed by seven crypts where rest the rest of 1919 people.
