The former convent of the Assumption of Our Lady of Tochimilco, from the second half of the 16th century, is one of the three convents in Puebla included in the World Heritage declaration. The large atrium, protected by a crenellated wall, was a key piece for the evangelizing work of these first convents, since the indigenous people preferred to be in open spaces.
