The Church of Saint Michael Archangel ….
” La Iglesia De San Miguel Arcangel “
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This church known locally as.. Little Saint Michael… SAN MIGUELITO…is the oldest church in Tlacotalpan.
The construction began in 1785, on top of the remains of another church destroyed by fire. It’s primary services were to the Indigenous community.
The building , as it stands today, inaugurated in 1800, is a unique example of Tlacotalpan architecture, combining a neoclassical style with a wooden ceiling and a mud tiled roof.
There are also two towers, the highest housing a clock, placed there in 1800, and the smaller one containing a belfry, topped by a semicircular dome.
