S. Fco. Acatepec, Pue.

Puebla Mexico

Baroque features, combined with the inventiveness of native artisans,

reached a climax in the cathedral in Mexico City.

It has been called ultrabaroque because of its strong light-and-shade patterns,

richly carved columns and entablatures, and violent alternations of curves and angles. 

In the Puebla region glazed tiles were sometimes placed on the whole facade of a building,

as in the Church of San Francisco Acatepec.
