What people say

"The Parroquia, with its stunning neo-Gothic façade, is a must-visit for first-time travelers to this charming Mexican town. As you approach its towering pink spires, you'll be captivated by the architectural beauty that graces the town's skyline. Inside, you'll discover a serene sanctuary filled with history and tradition. Admire the intricate altar, ornate décor, and the awe-inspiring atmosphere that makes this church a cultural and spiritual gem. Whether you come for a moment of quiet reflection or to appreciate the architecture, the Parroquia de San Miguel is a testament to the town's rich heritage and a must-see during your visit. A place where locals still hang out especially on Sundays and where you get to witness Mariachi bands playing on afternoons mostly on weekends. "
"This is the one of the most popular things to do in San Miguel de Allende, simply because it is the most obvious symbol of the city. The original façade of this church was much simpler; however, during the Colonial era, the church façade was built upon to more closely resemble a European style church. Because of this, the church face began to sink, as it was not originally built with so much weight in mind. Architects had to dig trenches and create better supports so the church did not collapse. The entrance is FREE if you would like to enter."

"SMA’s most iconic sight in the Jardin, the heart of town. it serves as a gathering place at night filled with street food vendors and the sounds of mariachi bands. Nieves (Mexican ice cream) is the popular snack to grab during the day, but at night, get the fully loaded doritos with lime, the vendor’s signature spice blend, and cheese for a classic portable snack. Inside the church, you'll find religious icons and murals styled after Mexican Modernism. "
