| Résumé: | In the ancient Mexico city existed a little poor nun
convent between La Celada and Acequia Real streets (now
called Venustiano Carranza and 16 de Septiembre,
respectively). Due to its total disappearance and the few
documents about it, this convent is perhaps the less studied of
all those that existed in the colonys capital. This paper shows
a part of the social history of the Capuchin order, as well as
the architectonic and artistic evolution of this colonial jewel.
Data was obtained from the colonys archives and some other
written sources (from the XVII c. until its disappearance in the
second part of the XIX c.). The high price of the land is
considered the cause of the convents demolition. |
