Exconvento Nuestra Señora de la Natividad — Attraction in Morelos

This is essentially the heart of the town, with everything built around it. Aside from the archaeological site, this is probably the main attraction—especially considering that not everyone is willing to hike up the mountain to see the pyramid.

If you’ve visited at least one ex-convent in Mexico, you won’t find anything particularly surprising here—a XVII-century building, some surviving frescoes, and the usual ban on photography with a camera.

You can’t enter the monks’ cells, but you can at least peek inside from the doorways. Small rooms, though modern apartments are gradually approaching the same size.

There’s a garden, but it looks either abandoned or under restoration—either way, it’s off-limits. There’s also a bookstore, though I doubt it gets much business. Places like this usually don’t sell many books unless they’re major tourist spots.

One unexpected find was a contemporary art exhibition in one of the rooms. It seems to focus on street culture and graffiti, so there’s no overwhelming sense of decadence—it’s actually worth a look. There’s even a little dragon man and a dragon skull, a collage of...

The convent was built by the Tepozteco indigenous people with carved stones joined with lime mortar, sand and vegetable binders.

1:44 pm visitamos el Museo Exconvento de Tepoztlán, conocido como Museo de la Natividad, fundado el 1 de enero de 1993, en el Estado de Morelos.

Historia El Museo Ex Convento de Tepoztlán fue construido por los indígenas tepoztecos por órdenes de Frailes dominicos entre los años 1530 y 1540, con el para dedicarlo a la Virgen de la Natividad, motivo por el cual se le conoce como museo de la Natividad. En 1993, el Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia elabora un proyecto de restauración y en 1994 es declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO. En el atrio tienen una estructura donde aparentemente se hacen misas, un espacio muy grande e imponente, como las hermosas construcciones del siglo XVI.

Entramos al Museo y está muy interesante como toda la información que hemos recabado durante el recorrido, es una construcción a la que si se le notan los años, pasillos altos con murales en los techos y arcos que le dan personalidad y elegancia.
