I could be wrong (I often am) but my understanding is one of the things that makes this church so unique and unusual is that the steeples go all the way to the ground (not architectural technical talk) - if you look at the pictures you will see this. I am not sure if any other church anywhere has this architectural feature?? I was once told that within a few blocks of the central jardin there are 14 churches. Here is a wiki website with more about SMA if anyone is interested.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Miguel_de_AllendeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64690283862894528282012-12-20T10:05:32.435-05:002012-12-20T10:05:32.435-05:00More wonderful travels.

I LOVE the 'neat room' at the Cultrual Center!<br /><br />Also LOVE the German tank! I think we could travel in that - but you would have to really get off the beaten track to justify it - not sure if I would be up for that these days. Still, pretty neat.<br /><br />What fun!Teresa Johannesma Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04452415576469118219noreply@blogger.com
