Chapel de los Dulches Nombres

The chapel de los Dulches Nombres is the oldest (after the Cathedral) church in Monterrey. It has been declared a national treasure of Mexico.

The date of construction of the chapel is usually called 30-50 years of the XIX century. By the middle of the twentieth century, it was rebuilt, and at the end of the twentieth century it was declared a valuable historical monument of the city and the country in general.

It was originally the private chapel of the de la Garza Saldivar family. The architectural style in which it is built is defined as Tuscan with neoclassical influence. Only the facade of the chapel has some expressive features, on the other sides it is a blank stone walls without windows.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the chapel did not fulfill its original functions and served as a studio of artists and a library. It was not until 1989 that it again became a place for religious worship. Musical concerts are also held here from time to time.
