Fodor's Expert Review Templo de Santa Rosa de Viterbo
Querétaro
This former convent, constructed from 1727 to 1752 and attributed to the Queretano Don Ignacio Mariano de las Casas, is noteworthy for its whimsical arches and the Arab influence of its facade. Inside, the church is one of the joys of the Mexican baroque, famous for its five fantastically carved, gold-leaf altarpieces, as well as its rich paintings and statues.
