About San Jerónimo Tlacochahuaya
The temple and ex convent Tlacochahuaya dates back to the sixteenth century and were built by the Dominican friars as a place where the Dominicans could keep the law for the sanctification of the soul. This space is where the monks would meditate, would do penance and reflection.
Hence, its construction is rather simple, but that does not stop being a beautiful place worth visiting.
