Ex-Convento de San Gabriel

Cholula


The Ex-Convento de San Gabriel (also known as Plaza de la Concordia), facing the east side of Cholula's huge zócalo, includes a tiny but interesting Franciscan library and three fine churches – Capilla de la Tercera Orden, Capilla Real and Templo de San Gabriel – all of which will appeal to travelers interested in antique books and early religious and Franciscan history.
