Capilla del Niño Jesús - 04330 Ciudad de México

My girl was delighted with the catechism service offered by the nuns, her facilities are perfectly well maintained and have very nice spaces, at least here you really enjoy contact with the church.

The Chapel of the Child Jesus dates from the 16th century. It used to be an open chapel for the natives to take mass without fear and not feel locked up. The style of the Chapel very sober without luxuries, with stone carving work on the facade. The buttress arch supports the weight of the tower. Regarding the neighborhood, this area of ​​Coyoacan was an area of ​​several neighborhoods of Tepaneca origin. This before the Mexicas. In 1420 the Mexicas arrive form the triple alliance to get rid of those of Azcapotzalco. After the conquest they were territories of Cortes, where he stays to live. Subsequently, the Spaniards leave and remain as an indigenous territory. The center of each neighborhood was a small temple and converted to small churches. Miguel Angel de Quevedo Avenue divides the neighborhoods in the 1940s, generating a break with what is now the tourist area. The streets are of broken plate trace, for being pre-Hispanic neighborhoods. There are unevenness as the area of ​​the scree of the eruption of the volcano n Xitle begins. Lava came to this area from the Cuicuilco area. In the conquest in this area military barracks were established and Cortes planned to start the CdMx from Coyoacan. Here was the first town hall in the center of the country.

A very quiet neighborhood

Please respect the neighbors, the animals (pets in the area), the pollution and noise caused by the fireworks and stop with that scandal. It is an outdated and irresponsible custom.

A very nice chapel, is currently closed to the public since it suffered damage in September 2017, it is under repair by the INAH
