Guanajuato, Mexico. Iglesia de San Cayetano. 1765

Built in 1765 by the first Count of Valencia, this is one of the most beautiful colonial churches in the Churrigueresque Style. It is one of the finest in Mexico, filled with several paintings and floor-to-ceiling carvings in white cedar covered with 18-karat gold.

This Baroque art form, unique to Mexico, merged the Spanish artistic style with the abundant gold of Mexico.
