San Miguel de Allende - Santa Casa de Loreto

The Santa Casa de Loreto, a copy of the Santa Casa in Italy with a statue of the Virgin Mary, was built at the expense of Manuel Tomás de la Canal in 1735. Paths on both sides lead to the Camarin, an octagonal room with six altars, one in the Neo-Classical style, the others Baroque.

The Baroque retablos, are marvellous examples of Mexican Churrigueresque. The benefactor and his wife are buried in the chapel.
