Parish of San José del Parral. A majestic Catholic church dedicated to Saint Joseph, the earthly father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has a rich history and is built of stone, featuring a large bell tower on the front facade. But undoubtedly, its most important element lies within: the Eucharist. Mass and confession are offered at various times.

I really liked the tone it took on with the materials it was built with. The interior is very well preserved, but its facade is damaged and the door frame is very dirty; it needs restoration and cleaning.

If you're looking for a monument in the city, if you want to discover a place with history and tradition, you must visit this place. If it's during the day, it will be truly admirable, and if at night you're there, sitting in the park in front of its main entrance, you'll discover its colonial beauty, set against the backdrop of a mountain that houses the traditional mine inside. Located in the heart of the city, it looks absolutely stunning at night.
