The Church and former Convent of San Diego was initially a chapel of visitation, built by the Dominicans, probably from Oaxtepec, in the 16th century. Later, the Discalced Franciscans known as "Dieguinos" in 1640 built a temple in honor and under the patronage of Lord Saint Joseph, to which they annexed a small convent with 2 cloisters.
