TEMPLO SAN JUAN DE GRACIA
located at Madero 36, was the church for the Capuchinas nuns.
Their ex-convent, located nearby on Guerrero is now the Restoration Museum.
The Capuchin nuns arrived from Mexico City in 1721.

TEMPLO DE LAS CARMELITAS
The Church of the Carmelitas (barefoot nuns) is located one block from the Cathedral on Balvanera y Ocampo
The order’s first modest chapel was built in 1750. The nuns then established a college for the education of girls in 1791. Construction of the church & convent was completed by 1802.
The former college, located at Balvanera 4 behind the City Museum on Guerrero, is now the Hotel Quinta Santiago.

The church is now a diocese Church of Perpetual Adoration (open 24 hours).

Great colour !
You've done a great job of rendering every colour with accuracy and depth: I particularly like the blue skies. Nicely done, Rainy !

Pipe Organ
I wonder if the pipe organ still is played? Some of the pipe look a little worse for wear :)
