Another Puebla de Zaragoza catholic church, Templo de San Cristóbal. Construction is attributed to architect Carlos García Durango. The temple's facade stands out with its undulating grooves on the columns, giving a sense of movement to the gray stone. This is one of the hallmarks of Mexican Baroque architecture. The original towers were demolished during the siege the city endured in 1856, and they were reconstructed in this century based on an old lithograph of the church. The grand plateresque-style facade, made of gray basalt, contrasts with the small plaster angels placed among the columns. At the top, framed between two reliefs, you can see the emblem of the cathedral—an embellished vase—and a magnificent marble relief depicting St. John writing the Apocalypse. Another compliment to Puebla de Zaragoza 1987 UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.
