TEMPLO DE SAN FELIPE NERI

OAXACA, MEXICO


The 18th-century baroque Templo de San Felipe Neri is where Benito Juárez and Margarita Maza were married in 1843.

Margarita was the daughter of Antonio Maza, an Italian immigrant merchant who took in the young Benito when he arrived in Oaxaca as a boy. 

The church has a typically lavish gold-encrusted interior.
