Templo y Antiguo Convento de San Agustin
Se trata de una de las obras más admirables que construyera la orden de San Agustín en la Nueva España, durante el esplendor barroco del siglo XVII. Por licencia pontificia y cédula real, en 1728 se fundó el convento agustiniano de Querétaro. Su fábrica se atribuye a Ignacio Mariano de las Casas y al padre Luis Martínez Lucio. En 1745, se bendijo y consagró el Templo por el Arzobispo de México, Juan Antonio de Vizarrón y Eguiarreta, bajo la advocación de María Santísima de los Dolores. El antiguo Convento fue restaurado en 1889, para albergar oficinas de la federación y desde 1988 es la sede del Museo de Arte de Querétaro. English:This is one of the most splendid churches which the order of San Agustin built in New Spain during the marvelous baroque period of the 18th century. Its courtyard is one of the most magnificent in Latin America. By Pontifical license and royal charter the Augustinian monastery of Queretaro was founded in 1728. Its construction is attributed to Ignacio Mariano de las Casas and Father Luis Martinez Lucio. In 1745 the Archbishop of Mexico, Juan Antonio de Vizarron y Eguiarreta, consecrated the Church dedicating it to Our Lady of Sorrows. The former monastery was restored in 1889 to house federal offices. Since 1988 it has been the Art Museum of Queretaro.HM Number | HM1P9K |
