Stunning architecture and home to the world’s largest silver Virgin of Guadalupe

Santa Prisca de Taxco is the crown jewel of Taxco. The Baroque architecture is breathtaking, with its detailed stonework and iconic twin towers making it a standout right in the center of the town. The interior is equally impressive, filled with ornate altars, intricate artwork, and a peaceful, reverent atmosphere.

One of the most unique features is the solid silver statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe, said to be the largest in the world. Standing six feet tall and weighing around 380 pounds, this statue is a true reflection of Taxco’s silver heritage and a highlight of any visit.

Founded in 1751, Santa Prisca holds historical and cultural significance, contributing to Taxco’s reputation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

An awesome experience, combining history, architecture, craftsmanship, and spiritual importance in one...

La Parroquia de Santa Prisca y San Sebastián en Taxco, Guerrero, es uno de los más impresionantes ejemplos de la arquitectura barroca novohispana en México. Construida entre 1751 y 1758 por encargo del empresario minero José de la Borda, esta joya arquitectónica refleja el esplendor económico de la región durante la época colonial, cuando Taxco era uno de los principales centros de extracción de plata.

Características arquitectónicas:

Fachada: La iglesia tiene una fachada principal ricamente decorada, con intrincados relieves tallados en cantera rosa. Su diseño está inspirado en el estilo churrigueresco, destacando esculturas religiosas, motivos florales y columnas salomónicas.

Torres gemelas: Las altas torres de campanarios, que alcanzan 40 metros de altura, son icónicas y visibles desde gran parte de la ciudad, lo que convierte a la parroquia en un punto de referencia.

Interior: El interior está adornado con nueve altares dorados, también en estilo barroco, dedicados a diferentes santos y escenas religiosas. Destaca el altar mayor, dedicado a Santa Prisca, patrona de la parroquia.

Cúpula: La cúpula está decorada con azulejos de colores que resplandecen bajo el sol, agregando un toque distintivo al panorama de Taxco.

Significado histórico y cultural:

La parroquia no solo es un centro religioso, sino también un símbolo de la herencia colonial de México. Está estrechamente ligada a la identidad cultural de Taxco, formando parte de sus tradiciones y festividades, como la Semana Santa, que atrae a miles de visitantes.

Ubicada en el corazón del Centro Histórico de Taxco, rodeada de calles empedradas y casas blancas con techos de teja roja, la Parroquia de Santa Prisca es un destino imperdible para quienes desean explorar el arte, la historia y la espiritualidad de México. Fue declarada Monumento Histórico en 1931 y continúa siendo un testimonio del pasado glorioso de esta...

ES • EN Un obligado. La iglesia de Santa Prisca es un exquisito ejemplo de la arquitectura barroca novohispana en cantera rosa. Financiada gracias al impulso económico de la actividad minera durante mediados del siglo XVIII.

A must to visit. Santa Prisca’s church is an exquisite representative of the New Spain’s architecture during its baroque period using pink quarry stone. It was financed thanks to the economic progress achieved by the mining activity over the middle XVIII century.

So many details can take an entire afternoon to...
