Dating back to the 16th century, the San Juan Bautista Church (Parroquia de San Juan Bautista) stands as one of the oldest churches in Mexico City. Nestled within the bustling city, its unassuming whitewashed facade belies a lavishly reconstructed interior that showcases the grandeur of New Spanish baroque. Inside, intricate frescoes and gilded detailing dominate the space, offering visitors a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the period. Today, the church remains an active place of worship, hosting weekly services, and invites visitors to relax in its serene courtyard or admire the ornate craftsmanship.
