Iglesia y Hospital de Jesús Nazareno
This church was founded by Hetnán Cortés soon after the Conquest. A stone marker on Pino Suárez marks it as the spot where Cortés and Moctezuma reportedly met for the first time. Cortés died in Spain in 1547, but his remains are in a vault inside the chapel (entered by a side door on República del Salvador). Vaults on the opposite wall store the remains of Cortés's relatives. Notice the Orozco mural, The Apocalypse, on the choir ceiling.
