Hospicio Cabañas

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hospicio Cabañas was built at the beginning of the 19th century to provide care and shelter for the disadvantaged – orphans, old people, the handicapped and chronic invalids. This remarkable complex, which incorporates several unusual features designed specifically to meet the needs of its occupants, was unique for its time. It is also notable for the harmonious relationship between the open and built spaces, the simplicity of its design, and its size. In the early 20th century, the chapel was decorated with a superb series of murals, now considered some of the masterpieces of Mexican art. They are the work of José Clemente Orozco, one of the greatest Mexican muralists of the period.

Expiatory Temple of the Blessed Sacrament

Highlight • Religious Site

The Templo Expiatorio is one of the most important churches in Guadalajara and a masterpiece of Neo-Gothic architecture in Mexico. Construction began in 1897. Due to political unrest, particularly the Mexican Revolution, construction was interrupted several times. The church was not completed until 1972, after 75 years.

Guadalajara Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Guadalajara’s cathedral is the city’s most conspicuous landmark with distinctive neo-Gothic towers built after an earthquake toppled the originals in 1818. Begun in 1561 and consecrated in 1618, the building is almost as old as the city itself. Time your visit right and you’ll see light filter through stained-glass of the Last Supper above the altar and hear a working pipe organ rumble sweetly from the rafters.
