Brief Description:
These 14 monasteries stand on the slopes of Popocatepetl, to the south-east of Mexico City. They are in an excellent state of conservation and are good examples of the architectural style adopted by the first missionaries ? Franciscans, Dominicans and Augustinians ? who converted the indigenous populations to Christianity in the early 16th century.
