The capilla abierta (open chapel) of Yautepec's (state of Morelos) main church, a former monastery. The open chapel-style building was using the first permanent structure built by the friars as they began their efforts to convert the native peoples to Christianity. The altar was located under the arch, while the vast congregation of neophytes stood in an open plaza fronting the building.
