Casita de Maldonado

The Little House of Maldonado is a historic site associated with Saint Peter of Jesus Maldonado Lucero, a saint and martyr of the Catholic Church. It preserves the small room where he hid during the Cristero War (1932–1937), marked by a ventilation shaft and accessed through a floor hole.

This site, owned by Doña Amanda's family, serves as a testament to Saint Peter of Jesus Maldonado's faith. During the Cristero War, he concealed himself in a windowless room with only a ventilation shaft for air. The house remains a quiet historical landmark reflecting his legacy as a martyr in the Catholic Church.
