Ocotlan de Morelos

Thursday we drove to Ocotlan to visit a church with some remarkable painting inside. The outside isn't so shabby either.

The dome.


The wooden screen protecting the interior from direct access from the street.


The former convent associated with the church. It has been through many resurrections, one being a prison. Now it is a museum.

Rudolfo Morelos, a well-known Mexican painter, was instrumental in the renewal of the convent. Ocotlan was his home-town. Below is some of his work.
