Capilla De La Virgen De Los Remedios - 52400 Tenancingo de Degollado

Only

Chapel of the Remedies. It is also from the 17th century and its façade presents baroque features, but not the degree of elaboration and artistic value of those that the Chapel of Guadalupe presents. These two chapels are linked by the so-called "Calzada de las Capillas" and represents in a very peculiar way, as in few places in the Republic, the phenomenon of miscegenation, since, as we know, the Virgin of Guadalupe is the "Patron" of the indigenous Mexicans, while that of the Remedios is that of the Spanish. It is interesting to note that in a town as small as Tenancingo was at that time, the construction of such important monuments took place. In addition, together with the Virgen de los Dolores, there is the triple representation of the "Tres Marías", the name of the hill on whose slopes Tenancingo was founded and which today is known as "Cerro de Cristo Rey". The festival of this chapel is the On September 1 and the building is also a Historic Monument with a degree of conservation B. It is reached by the Calzada de los Remedios, which starts from the west side of the Cathedral.
