Discover the hidden treasures of a gem of Mexican baroque
Leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind and travel back in time to the 18th century. The Temple of Santa Rosa de Viterbo is famous not only for its impressive exterior architecture, but also for the secrets its walls hold. On this specialised tour, an expert guide will take you beyond the main nave to explore the Site Museum, a reserved space that houses one of the most impressive collections of sacred art in the region.
Masterpieces and living legends
During the tour, your eyes will rest on pieces of incalculable historical value. You'll get a close-up look at the famous portrait of Sister Ana María de San Francisco y Neve, a masterpiece from the Viceroyalty period that narrates the devotion and mysticism of the time. You'll be impressed by the majesty of the life-size Apostolate, a sculptural ensemble that will move you with its realism and detail.
The intimacy of the “Pink Mothers”
What was the daily life of the cloistered nuns like? We'll walk among the original period furniture and stop in front of the splendid Baroque font, a silent witness to the daily rituals of the Temple. Finally, you'll experience the highlight of the sightseeing tour: exclusive access to the Lower Choir, the sacred space from which the Pink Nuns participated in religious services, hidden from the eyes of the world.
