Casa de Piedra

16th century stone church with twin belfries and a muted, tranquil interior with relatively few architectural adornments and only a handful of statues and paintings inside. The long, narrow nave is bright and cheerful with pastel shades and plain wooden pews. A highlight of the church is its beautifully manicured gardens and its front square with walkways around a central fountain.

Jalpa's main church is a large 16th century stone structure with a square primary bell tower and a second open bell tower. The interior is beautifully decorated with a multi-domed ceiling and elaborate Spanish patterned floors in the main nave. The altar is spectacular with an opulent back wltar of gold leaf.

The town's main plaza is a place to walk, sit, people watch, and enjoy the mood of the town. It's a center for celebrations of patriotic and religious holidays with seasonal decorations and it's a lively place where families come on Sundays to stroll and enjoy regional food available from the street food carts.

Historic stone church dramatically perched atop a mountain overlooking the town. Dedicated to Mexico's patron saint, the church boasts a number of beautiful artworks including a series of spectacular stained glass windows portraying the Virgin of Guadalupe blessing individuals and performing miracles. Outside the church is a dramatic painting directly on the face of a sheer rock wall. There is a small site museum, a picnic area with tables and benches under some shade trees, and spectacular vistas of the town below.
