Abstract (en)

Studies the 16th c. Spanish colonial architecture of Metztitlán: the monasteries of the Comunidad and the Santos Reyes (including their churches, facades, cloisters, and chapels), and the town hall with its architectural and painted decorations. Dates the Comunidad to the 1530s, prior to the regulations of Philip II for monastic architecture; and argues that the Santos Reyes originally comprised an atrium with an open air chapel and four capillas posas, to which a second open chapel was added after 1550, when the church and monastery were built.
