Franciscan Missions in the Sierra Gorda of Querétaro
World Heritage
Mexico
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The five Franciscan missions of Sierra Gorda were built in the final stages of the conversion of the Mexican interior to Christianity in the mid-18th century and became an important reference for the continued evangelization of California, Arizona, and Texas. The ornately decorated facades of the churches are of particular significance because they are examples of the creative efforts of missionaries and Indians. The rural settlements that developed around the missions have retained their vernacular character.
