Tzintzuntzan - Monastery - Detail

The Franciscan monks constucted this monastery using stones taken from the nearby ancient ruin. In this photo you can see the remains of an old spiral pictograph that once adorned the walls of the Tarascan city. Look for it under the second flower pot from the right.
