Description
The Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies is a Catholic temple located at the top of the Great Pyramid of Cholula, in San Pedro Cholula, Puebla. Its construction began in 1594, although the temple of that time was partially destroyed by a an earthquake in 1864, the year in which it was rebuilt. Later studies recognize the intention of the builders as to place it on top of a large Cholulteca structure, as a way of highlighting the beliefs of Catholicism over the ancient Mesoamerican beliefs.
