The Sanctuary of Atotonilco (Santuario de Atotonilco) is a church complex and a World Heritage Site designated along with nearby San Miguel de Allende Guanajuato Mexico. The complex was built in the 18th century by Father Luis Felipe Neri de Alfaro who according to tradition was called upon by a vision of Jesus with a crown of thorns on his head and carrying a cross. The main feature of the complex is the rich Mexican Baroque mural work that adorns the main nave and chapels.
