Iglesia de San Juan Bautista

Iglesia de San Juan Bautista (San Juan Bautista Church), with its beautifully decorated facade, is nestled in the Parque de San Juan about four blocks south of the Plaza Grande. San Juan Bautista is the Spanish name for Saint John the Baptist.


The San Juan Church was built between 1769 and 1770 on a seventeenth century chapel. The Baroque-style church gave its name to the surrounding park.


Iglesia de San Juan Bautista is a typical single-nave Mexican church. An exception, however, is the roof, which is supported by wooden beams rather than a stone vault.


Arco de San Juan


On the southern side of the park, the "Arco de San Juan" can be seen, a brick arch that used to indicate the end of the white man's city and the beginning of the Indian quarter. Today, the famous arch is mainly a popular photo motif (it is the best preserved old arch of the city).
