Beautiful 16th century church with a bright red facade and twin naves. Murals decorate the ceiling. The church contains a spectacular polychrome sculpture of Christ's Crucixion. The sculpture was made in the late 17th century using a molding compound made from corn stalks. The statue itself weighs 12 kg (plus the weight of the wood cross on which it hangs). The sculpture hangs over the church's altar. The church becomes the focal point of festivities during early May.

Clock Tower
Which came first? The clock or the tower? In this case, the town bought the clock in 1928 but it would be four years before the tower was completed in 1932. The tower was designed by architects Mauro Sánchez and Luis González Aparicio. The tower is an excellent example of Art Deco architecture, with its symmetry, use of straight vertical lines, and gracefully curved corners.
The town's main square in the heart of its historic Centro is a pleasant open area for gathering, relaxing, or enjoying family time on the weekends. Landscaped grounds are interspersed with sidewalks and paved areas with park benches, towering palm trees, and carefully manicured shrubbery. The town's famous clock tower is here, along with the main church, the town hall, and boutique shops and small restaurants.
Small regional museum chronicling the pre-Hispanic history of the local area. Several exhibits with artifacts from the Teotihuacan culture.
