    Beautiful colors. We checked out the crypts under the church.it does close during the and opens back up. I think it was 20 pesos to go in. The bathroom is behind the church.

    This church is just amazing! The architecture is astounding. The acustics is very good, you can hear someone talking in front of the church all the way to the back. This is a must see for anyone. And behind the church is the catacombes, spooky and historical check that out.

    Amazing temple. I had my wedding there. You have to be nice to the miss that is in the office, this way she will be happy to help you. I loved my wedding ceremony there. The music sounded magical.

  • 5/5 Berenice A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit in Leon. The mosaic in the middle is a representation of the Vatican. As you can see in the pictures, the hole architecture is really impressive. Inside is beautiful aswell, plus nearby there are few places you must visit: Nieves de garrafa in the corner where you’ll find the best ice creams in Mexico and the same street but in the middle you can try the granadina that is a tipical drink of the area... I don’t like it but I recommend you to try it :)

  • 5/5 Daniela Rangel T. 5 months ago on Google
    It is an ancient construction, it is beautiful and I recommend it if you want to learn, it has a lot of history and it takes a lot to be constructed, it has catacombs that you can visit, if you are catholic you can go to the ceremony, there are a lot of weddings and sweet XV, there are interesting sculptures and there are a replica of La piedad. There are problems with parking but there are many options around, on average there charge your 50 pesos per hour On Sundays it is misa, at 8, 9 and more hours, some people take pictures

  • 5/5 Anahí S. 5 months ago on Google
    A new gothic construction. It is beautiful. Highly recommend if you come to Leon. Has a lot of history, it took a lot to be completed. It has catacombs that you can visit. If you are catholic you can go to the ceremonies. You can come across with weddings and sweet Xv ceremonies. Sculptures are interesting, there is a replica of “La Piedad”. There are problems with parking, but there are many parking lots around, on average they charge $15 per hour. On Sundays there is misa at 8, 9, 11, 13 and 14:15. A good place to take pictures.
