Santuario de Jesús Nazareno

The interior of the convent church of Santuario de Jesús Nazereno and the various chapels are decorated with frescos, mainly by Miguel Antonio Martínez de Pocasangre, depicting attractive traditional themes. Behind the high altar, in the Camarín, there are sculptures of the Virgin Mary and the Apostles. The Rosary Chapel on the right has frescos of the Battle of Lepanto and leads to a Camarín with a ceiling in the form of a shell.

Every year the town is the destination of pilgrims from all over Mexico. Two weeks before Easter Sunday the statue of the Christ of Señor de la Columna is carried in a grand nocturnal procession into the church of San Juan de Dios in San Miguel de Allende. On the third Sunday in July a local religious festival with Indian dances takes place in Atotonilco.
