Tlaxcala is not only bold and striking, but also one of the most unusual of the conventos. The layout of this Franciscan exconvento is quite irregular, with a main approach from the north into the atrio, a freestanding tower, and an open chapel set below the atrio.
Notable Features: Franciscan ex convento; State of Tlaxcala, Mexico; Early Mexican monastery; Unique capilla abierta; Moorish wooden ceilings; Unusual freestanding tower; Two posas with unusual placement
