About

In the quiet neighborhood of Plutarco Elías Calles in Mexico City stands Parroquia San Salvador De Las Flores, a testament to history and art. Originally a chapel for a large estate where alfalfa was cultivated, this church features parts of its façade from the 16th century. The intricate stone arch at the entrance, adorned with carved flowers and birds, is a highlight, reflecting the skill of local artisans from long ago. Significant renovations in 1950 have preserved its beauty, with the roof, floors, and sacristy all echoing the mid-20th century style. Inside, the atmosphere is serene, and the Sunday evening mass led by the charismatic pastor offers a sense of warmth and community. Though it's one of the lesser-known treasures near the vast IPN "Casco de Santo Tomás" campus, its charm and historical depth make it a gem for visitors seeking a peaceful retreat.
