Capilla de San Lucas - 06000 Ciudad de México

Very beautiful and very small church, accessible because it is leaving the metro Pine Suarez, every morning the father blesses people with holy water, very good for Catholics

Something hidden, since I never imagined that it existed until I saw its bell tower. So I went to know its interior and see what saint was venerated. And I was aware that San Lucas, same name that has the street.

Site of adoration to San Juan, in this place on Saturdays and Sundays they give donations of food and drink to the pilgrims, it is from the temples that give something for their cause and no matter who arrives, something will be given to them late to bless their Saint, greetings society

In a not very visible and forgotten square on the limits of Fray Servando and Izazaga, is one of the oldest chapels in the city, it is dedicated to San Lucas Evangelista and some chroniclers mention that it has been standing since 1690. At that time it was known as the parish of San Miguel, but that name was withdrawn two years later when they built another larger and more luxurious one for this saint, on the corner that Izazaga and Pino Suárez now make. This church had to see how the old Santa María Magdalena Collection House, which was a neighbor at the end of the 19th century, stopped harboring prostitutes and was adapted as a military hospital. He also had to see day after day the bustle of the trail that was operating for several centuries in this square. It is said that the people from Matanzas were the ones who gave the capital to build this chapel and that San Lucas Evangelista was chosen as the second and current patron because he is the saint that this union adores. Of the buildings that used to surround the Plazuela de San Lucas, only a few features remain, the only intact construction is the chapel which was once the refuge of the butchers of this city.

Chapel of the XVII century financed by butchers and people who worked on a trail that existed where now is the "Plaza Pino Suarez". With an exemplary structure, it still stands!

Hello!! I want to know what day and at what time I can go to update a baptism certificate, I URGE IT.....since the telephone number that appears does not answer me and the times I have gone it is closed

The place is an 18th century chapel that was frequented by butchers and everything that depends on the traces since almost in front of it was the trace in the mentioned century. Now it is a square and in it is the chapel of San Lucas. Although if it is a little scary to visit it for security reasons, there is already an office of the Public Ministry of the CDMX, close by which in theory would lower crime and be able to visit it quickly. The chapel is small and unspectacular on the outside, but inside it is another atmosphere of peace and despite being a small building, it houses many Catholic figures and paintings of great beauty. If it is worth visiting.
