Historic Churches & Chapels

Tepoztlán’s religious landscape is anchored by the 16th-century Ex-convento de Nuestra Señora de la Natividad, a UNESCO World Heritage site built by the Dominican order. Surrounding this central complex are the historic barrio chapels, each serving as the spiritual and social heart of the town's traditional neighborhoods. These colonial-era structures, such as San Miguel and San Sebastián, showcase unique stone masonry and traditional atriums that continue to host centuries-old patron saint festivals and local community traditions.
