Inside the Parish of San Luis Obispo in Teolocholco, at the top, four angels guard the niche where the sculpture of San Luis Obispo is kept, dressed as such, with a mitre, crozier and pluvial cape. Above it is a huge shield with a two-headed eagle, symbol of the House of Austria from which Emperor Charles V came. The shield is that of the Spanish regions of Castile and Leon, where Isabel la Católica, the emperor's grandmother, was queen, and it culminates with the collar of the golden torzón, a chivalric order to which Charles V granted special protection.
