El exconvento de San Francisco de Asís de Calpan, construido en 1548 bajo la dirección de fray Juan de Alameda, está localizado en San Andrés Calpan, en el estado de Puebla, México.^[1] La importancia de este conjunto radica principalmente en la fachada del templo, que sumada a a las cuatro capillas posas, constituyen uno de los conjuntos más notables del siglo XVI en México. Estas capillas, que fueron construidas ca. de 1555,^[1] muestran relieves tallados en piedra de escenas teológicas. Es considerada una joya de la arquitectura del virreinato.^[2] El convento se encuentra reconstruido parcialmente y de él se aprecia el portal de peregrinos, la capilla abierta y el claustro de dos niveles.
