This is the old temple of Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is right by the Basílica de Guadalupe. The beauty of this old complex is (it was built in the 1700’s) is that it was bombed in 1921, but the old basilica stayed intact. After the bomb, it suffered major damages that almost caused it to collapse.

You can se some of the damages inside, how the church is collapsing to one of its sides, but remains firm. You can feel it when you walk through it.

You can se the pictures of it. Mexicans poured out tons and tons of concrete under the basilica to prevent it from collapsing.

To me, it was more impressive that the current basilica.

It is a very old and historic building. This use to be the old basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. A new one was constructed because this one is sinking. You can tell how it is a little tilted when you walk inside of it. It has huge beautiful old paintings along th walls. Beautiful art and decoration. It is right next to the new basilica so you can visit both on the same day. There are other old and historic temples in the vicinity so make time if you want to look around and visit them all.

Can't miss any part of this chapel.

Beautiful temple — a must see if you’re in Mexico City for more than a couple of days. Unfortunately, it’s sinking and tilted forward, but hopefully they will find a way to restore it.

This is the old Basilica that formerly held the miraculous painting of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Its free to enter and look around. Its obviously a lot smaller than the modern building, but because of this it is more intimate. Tere are some interesting details that show fusion of European and indigenous building styles, as the church was built bu native workers and artisans.
