View of Cuernavaca's cathedral, formerly the church of the Franciscan monastery of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Cuauhnahuac (the latter the precontact Nahuatl name for Cuernavaca). The main building dates from the sixteenth century, with the soaring bell tower being added later, in stages stretching over a couple of hundred years. Just to the right of the tower and in the background it is possible to catch a glimpse of the original stone structure on the site, the capilla abierta (open chapel) of San José.
