San Juan Del Río

Before the Hospital of San Juan de Dios, the image so venerated in these times was captured in the goal of the temple, hence the name of Jesusito de la Portería. The place has become well known among the faithful as many miracles are attributed to the image. If you want to fully enjoy this devotion, the festivities take place between July 31 and August 6, a week in which there are various religious celebrations such as baptisms.

The first church of San Juan del Rio is opposite what is now the Founders Plaza but was then the pantheon, however that little church made of earth was torn down in 1700. The church as we know it now was built between 1710 and 1731 and was the church of the Indians. Its bright color make this place stand out even though its construction is simple.
