About San Francisco Acatepec
Religion, Other Temples, Interesting Places
San Francisco Acatepec (Spanish: Templo de San Francisco Acatepec) is a church in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico.
The San Francisco church is what is left of a Franciscan friary dedicated to Diego de Alcalá. The friary was demolished by the Marquis of Mancera in 1673, under the false impression that it had been built without royal permission. In 1686, the church was restored as a parish by the Count of Monclova. The church was constructed in the early 16th century and finished during the middle of the 18th, when its tabernacle was constructed. It maintains its original Churrigueresque altar, which contains numerous small paintings.
