About Ex-Convento de San Gabriel, Cholula
Franciscan friars built the Convento de San Gabriel in Cholula in the sixteenth century, shortly after the Spanish conquest, on ground linked to pre-Hispanic religious life. It served as a base for evangelizing the region's indigenous population and included an open-air chapel designed for mass conversion. The complex became a center of early colonial missionary activity.
