Los secretos de los Conventos Patrimonio de la Humanidad UNESCO en las faldas del Popocatépetl.

The convents on the slopes of Popocatépetl constitute one of the most important architectural and historical complexes in Mexico. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, these 16th-century monasteries were fundamental in the evangelization process and preserve a unique architecture that combines European elements with the work of the indigenous peoples.
