Temple of Saint Augustine
Construction of this temple began in 1587 and originally was part of a convent of the Augustinian Order.
Temple of Saint Francis of Assisi
This temple was part of the Franciscan monastery that was established practically simultaneously with the founding of the city. construction began in 1580.
Guadalajara Cathedral
the first Cathedral of Guadalajara was not in the place of the one that exists today; It was three blocks to the east, on the site where the Temple of Santa María de Gracia is located today. That church, which dated back to the time the city was founded, was a simple construction with adobe walls and a thatched roof. As expected, such a fragile construction did not last long (it is said that it burned down as a result of the celebration of a mass) and finally in 1561, by royal decree, the construction of a new building was authorized on the current site, from which it's laying the foundation stone on July 31 of the same year,
We drive to the old nieghborhood of Analco.
Temple of Saint Sebastian of Analco
Construction began about 1550 and was built by the indigenous Cocas and Tecuexes of the Analco neighborhood.The construction was overseen and directed by Franciscan friars.
Temple of San de Jose Analco
Construction began in 1543 and throughout the years has gone through many renovations and modulations.

“Very Informative Relocation Tour”
Anwar was incredibly informative and had an excellent knowledge of the city. As we are planning to move to Guadalajara (GDL), we wanted to explore the different neighborhoods, and this tour provided a fantastic overview. Anwar did a great job highlighting the best places to live and showed us various parts of GDL, including some notable sites. His expertise made him a valuable resource throughout the tour. If you’re considering a move to GDL, this tour is a great way to start your planning process. I highly recommend it.
