San Lorenzo Chapel
The San Lorenzo Chapel, or Templo de San Lorenzo Xochimanca (also known as the Templo de San Lorenzo Mártir), was built in the 16th century and is still standing, built of brick and volcanic stone. Its bell tower was built in "Mixcoac" style with copper-colored bricks.
It was declared a National Monument of Mexico in the 1930s. At its base a cemetery operated until the early 20th century.
