La Parroquia, a pink, Gothic parish church, is one of San Miguel de Allende's most famous landmarks as well as one of the finest examples of colonial architecture in Mexico. Standing in the city's main square (El Jardin), the church was originally built in 1683 but was given a facelift in 1880. The crypt underneath the main altar contains the remains of Felipe Gonzalez and General Anastasio Bustamante, both of whom were heroes of the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) against Spain. There is also a sculpture of Ignacio Allende, who is the city's namesake, displayed on the main altar; he was born in San Miguel in 1779 and became a leader and martyr during the Mexican independence movement, prior to his execution in 1811.
Air: Mexico City International Airport, Leon/Guanajuato International Airport. Road: Bus: Public services. Car: Federal Hwy-57 (from Querétaro); Hwy-49 and Hwy-45D (from Irapuato). San Miguel de Allende is 274km (171 miles) northwest of Mexico City.
