"Pinacoteca de la Profesa The splendid neoclassical church of San Felipe Neri (commonly called “La Profesa”), whose present structure was completed in 1720, is a gem in Mexico’s bustling downtown that many visitors never see, with a balanced, harmonious main chapel in sober stone and glossy gold tones. Even fewer visit the church’s picture gallery, called the Pinacoteca, home to one of the city’s most complete collections of colonial-era religious art, imposingly arrayed in a handful of high-ceilinged chambers that seem not to have changed a whit since viceregal days. No such thing as gilding the lily here."

We stumbled across this gorgeous church and were pleasantly surprised to find a relic of the Sacred Cross!

This is a second historical church located on pedestrian street Calle Francisco I. Madero, on the corner of Calle Isabel La Católica, with the entrance of Madero, the first one being the Franciscan Church and ex-convent to the west of Madero. The architectural style is somewhat different from the more ornate later baroque style; it is more austere and a bit more somber. The interior offers a lot to see and admire. The church was first founded by Jesuits but after they were banished from Mexico (they were expelled in 1767 from Spain, and thus from all Spanish overseas possessions, it belongs now to the Oratorians Order or Oratory of Saint Philip Neri.

DOV: 19Aug2014 Its a catholic church made in Roman architecture. Its a good place to walk around. Its not maintained properly but the oldness is its beauty.

Beautiful temple open to the public. Cool place to come on a hot day. likely quite an acoustic Temple. Plenty of places to sit and relax.

What a breathtaking cathedral! I’ve been to a few cathedrals around the world, but this one definitely is up there. Very beautiful stone architecture from the outside and amazingly intricate artwork inside. The plaza outside and the red roofed houses around town give a Spain-like feel to the area.
