The Parish of San Agustín The construction of the temple, estimated to date back to the 17th century, was carried out by Vicenzo Barroso de la Escayola, designer of the cathedral of Morelia, so this is the example furthest from the local school. The façade, made of pink stone, is distinguished by its empty niches, as well as by the absence of buttresses and the image of San Agustín, perched on a two-headed eagle. At the ends of the nave there are eight altars that are part of the recent neoclassical decoration.
