  • 5/5 ALEJANDRO P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You still feel the tranquility of a Franciscan monastery. Nice facilities, well maintained. The collection they exhibit is not very large, but enough for a visit full of culture. The service is excellent and the prices are convenient. Next door is the parish, also full of history. Has parking. (Original) Aún se siente la tranquilidad de un monasterio franciscano. Bonitas instalaciones, bien cuidadas. La colección que exhiben no es muy grande, pero suficiente para una visita llena de cultura. La atención es excelente y los precios convenientes. Al lado está la parroquia, también llena de historia. Tiene estacionamiento.

    Museo Virreinal de Zinacantepec una joya virreinal del siglo XVI, impresionante arquitectura y arte. Es pequeño pero muestra la vida de los franciscanos siglos XVI al XIX. De lado izquierda de la iglesia y ex convento, y ahora museo, hay una Pila Bautismal, hecha en un monolito, es una de las piezas de arte Tequitqui más importantes de América, labrada con símbolos prehispánicos y católicos. Es gigante, aquí dejo fotos. Tiene una hermosa cocina, almacén, estudio y una impresionante biblioteca con documentos en latín y español antiguo, impresos durante los siglos XVI al XVIII en México, Italia, Francia, España, Alemania y Portugal. En el amplio atrio encuentras árboles gigantes y es un lugar hermoso para estar. Imperdible si vas a Zinacantepec, especialmente fui a hacer esa visita.

    (Translated by Google) It is a wonderful place to know part of the history of the municipality, not only in the religious aspect, but also in the aspect of social organization, on Sundays entry to the museum is free, I have not seen such a large museum with this theme.

    (Translated by Google) The museum is incredible, the truth is that one does not expect to find a place like this in Zinacantepec, but it is really worth visiting, it is a pity that there are parts that belong to the church and cannot be accessed.

    It is a place full of tranquility and mystery. The architecture is beautiful, it reminds me a little of the Desert of the Lions and the museum as such is interesting, I wish they had more dynamics or activities. The staff is always very attentive.

  • 4/5 Soledad Basante H. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Beautiful building from the colonial era. You can still see a bit of the original frescoes with Roman and Mudejar style decorations. Good collection of colonial religious art. More information is needed about its history and child-friendly activities. (Original) Bello edificio de la época virreinal. Aún se puede ver un poco de los frescos originales con decorados estilo romano y mudéjar. Buena colección de arte religioso colonial. Hace falta mayor información sobre su historia y actividades amigables para niños.

    (Translated by Google) 17th century armor of Spanish soldiers of the conquest have been taken (stolen), real relics remain as 6 when they were more than 15 a few years ago !!! I do not doubt that they are politicians who do not even imagine the real historical value of those pieces! (Original) Se han llevado (robado) armaduras del siglo XVII de soldados españoles de la conquista, verdaderas reliquias quedan como 6 cuando eran más de 15 hace algunos años!!!

  • 4/5 Angie B. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went to a concert by the UAEMEX Chamber Choir. The compound is a beautiful place; It has bathrooms that were very clean and in good repair. The only bad thing is that since the church was together, we had two fifteen years. In the second the quinceañera arrived on horseback (very pretty by the way) and with a band. The situation is that the band played and played and the choir director had to suspend the concert twice while all of us in the public waited patiently for the band to finish playing while the fifteen-year-old entered the temple and then until they left. The good thing was that the people and the musicians were very understanding and nobody got angry. I think it's a beautiful place to do concerts, but they should plan the schedules and events well so that they don't get together. (Original) Fui a un concierto del coro de Camara de la UAEMEX. El recinto es un lugar hermoso; tiene baños que estaban muy limpios y en buen estado. Lo único malo es que al estar la iglesia junto, nos tocaron dos quince años. En el segundo llegó la quinceañera a caballo (muy linda por cierto) y con una banda. La situación es que la banda tocaba y tocaba y el director del coro tuvo que suspender dos veces el concierto mientras todos los del público esperábamos pacientemente a que terminara de tocar la banda mientras la quinceañera entraba al templo y después hasta que se fueron. Lo bueno fue que la gente y los músicos se portaron muy comprensivos y nadie se enojó. Creo que es un lugar hermoso para hacer conciertos, pero deberían planear bien los horarios y eventos para que no se junten.
