FRANCISCAN MISSIONS IN THE SIERRA GORDA OF QUERÉTARO

 

The five missions, a historical treasure little-known among tourists, were built in the mid-18th century and became an important reference for the continuation of the evangelization and colonization of California, Arizona and Texas. Their richly decorated and colorful facades are a unique example of the joint creative efforts of the missionaries and indigenous populations.
