Convento del Carmen
Movido por Santa Teresa de Jesús, fue el provincial de la reforma teresiana del Carmelo quien acompañado por 11 religiosos más llegaron el 11 de julio de 1585 al puerto de San Juan de Ulúa, Nueva España, y el 27 de Septiembre del mismo año a la Ciudad de México. Es hasta 1615 que se inicia la construcción del convento en la huerta de Chimalistac, por fray Andrés de san Miguel concluyendo la iglesia y el convento en dos años bajo la advocación de San Ángelo Mártir, por lo que al pueblo que se formó a partir de su establecimiento se le llamó San Angel. English translation:Moved by the example of Saint Theresa of Avila, the head of the Theresians del Carmelo, accompanied by 11 other religious members arrived on July 11, 1585 at the port San Juan de Ulúa, New Spain (near present day Veracruz). On September 27 of the same year they arrived in Mexico City. In 1615 construction began on their convent in the garden of Chimalistac, under Friar Andrés de San Miguel, finishing the convent and church in two years in the name of San Angelo Martyr, which is why the neighborhood that formed around it was called San Angel.| HM Number | HM1PRA |
